Dealing with Partially-Matched Patients

When a Result is imported, Clinical attempts to automatically match it with a patient from the Patient Database, by comparing the demographics recorded in the Result with those in the Patient Database. Where there is not a direct match, you will be prompted to select the correct patient from those found to be similar. This anomaly can occur if the laboratory has misspelled the patient's name for example, or if the patient is not listed in your Patient Database.
