In EMR 9.8 we have somehow merged to sibling charts (completely different first names and dates of birth) into one.
Is there a way to "un-merge" them?

I can't imagine there is a clean way to unmerge other than restoring the database from a backup (assuming the merge happened recently and you're within your backup retention period), which would no doubt cause a lot more harm than good.
You could potentially restore your backed up database to a temp server. It would involve firing up the JBoss app server as well. Then you could see and verify the old chart and rebuild it by hand.
Someone else may have other suggestions.

We had twins that got merged (same first name but different middle names!!). The only option we had was to file the documents of the other pt in error, recreate a new chart and then recreate those documents in the chart for that patient. It was a nightmare but was told there was no other option.
