Enhancing Patient Matching for Accurate Identity Verification in Healthcare

Vlog: Enhancing Patient Matching for Better Identity Verification

Accurate patient matching is critical for safety and compliance in healthcare. When records are duplicated, mismatched, or incomplete, the risks go beyond administrative delays. They can lead to medical errors, privacy breaches, and costly claims issues. In fact, poor patient matching remains one of the biggest barriers to effective data sharing across systems and organizations.

By adopting strong identity verification practices, such as Know Your Patient (KYP) protocols, and leveraging tools like Searchbug’s People Search API and SSN and Name Match API, healthcare providers can confirm identities in real time, reduce duplicate records, and fill in missing details, allowing teams to focus on delivering better care.
