The Patient Information Reconciliation Integration Profile extends the Scheduled Workflow and the Reporting Workflow integration profiles by offering the means to match images, diagnostic reports, and other evidence objects acquired for a misidentified or unidentified patient (for example, during a trauma case) with the patient’s record.

In the example of the trauma case, this integration profile allows subsequent reconciliation of the patient record with images that are acquired (either without a prior registration or under a generic registration) before the patient’s identity can be determined. Thus images can be acquired and interpreted immediately and later, when the patient’s official registration and order information is entered into the ADT, Order Placer and Order Filler Systems, this information is matched with the acquired image set and reports, greatly simplifying these exception handling situations.
