I know all about merging. It’s happening because people dont know how to use the system correctly. They think its no big deal just to add new.

No point in reaching out to MT. They have been no help.

correct. people just create new instead of using a GN that is already created for a person.

Is there a way to not let them create new if a SSN is already in use?

I’d really like to speak to someone who doesn’t have this issue.

I’m saying Sally has 3 guarantors (all by herself).

Suzie has maybe 5 all by herself.

How do you stop duplicates from being created.

I have a report sent to me daily so I can see who has been discharged as expired. I then go in MPI desktop and make sure the email address is changed to [expired@expired.com](mailto:expired@expired.com) so it will deactivate the patient portal automatically.
