When a chart is merged with another chart is marks one as obsolete. Is there a way to stop the merged charts from showing in the active patient search? Granted the say <MRG> in front of the name to indicate that it was merged with another chart but it would be nice to eliminate them from populating in the search. Other obsolete charts do not show in active patient search so I am not sure why the merged charts do?

If you check the box that says "delete source after merge" as they are merged, it won't keep that other <MRG> chart record out there. It isn't checked by default and I think it has to be checked each time. You could delete the <MRG> charts since they aren't needed also but would be a pain to clean up one by one if you have a lot. Not sure if there are any scripts out there to clean them up.

We are on 12.0.10 and I do not see a check box for "delete source after merge"....? We don't have a ton so I guess I am okay with manually deleting them. Just figured there would be a more automated process that I was somehow missing.

We are on on CPS 12.1.12 and I was told to always do the merge from Registration however, I have noticed that sometimes, the record that was marked as obsolete still shows in the chart module even when searching for Active pts only. I have found no rhyme or reason, it doesn't happen all the time so I have gotten to where after I merge charts, I go over to the chart module and do a dob search. If the obsolete chart still show, I select that record, click on the registration link in the chart. Change the status to Inactive, save it and then change it back to Obsolete, save and exit. At that point it doesn't show up anymore when doing a search for active records.

I spoke with GE a while back about this. At that time there was a known issue with the merging process where it did not always mark an <MRG> patient as Obsolete. I believe that this issue is still going on.

It merges the two patients and labels one with <MRG> but sometimes leaves the original patient status on the <MRG> patient; so I created a SQL script that simply checks for any <MRG> patients that do not have a status of Obsolete and then updates that PatientProfile record to have a pstatus = "O".
