Edison True PACS Patient Merge Across Systems

Problem Statement:

Merging of patients cannot be performed in one system (i.e., CCW) and posted to the other system (i.e., WFM). A customer must manually synchronize patient merging, by performing the patient merge separately in each system.

This creates both duplicate work and a risk that a merge would be missed on the second system.

The customer system administrators must either learn two tools or coordinate between the cardiology and radiology department system administrators for the merges

This also requires the GE Trainers, Application Configuration Team Members and the Care Center to know both merge process so that the customer can be trained and supported for both systems (CCW and WFM)

Request:

1. Need one system (location) to merge patients. A customer will want to perform the patient merge once and have it populate to the other system (information merged in CCW to flow to WFM or information merged in WFM to populate to CCW)

2. Need to ensure that all patient merges done in CCW will merge patient in Workflow Manager

3. Need to ensure that all patient merges done in WFM will flow to CCW

4. Ensure we maintain merge proposal list in CCW and the ability to merge from this section of the UI

5. Requesting to add a merge proposal list in WFM with the ability to merge from this section of the UI. This would work the same as the CCW merge proposal list

6. Need to ensure when merge message comes into CCW from the customer HIS that a message is also sent to WFM to merge the patient
