*** Use current best practice and policy guidance to implement appropriate and accurate patient identification and matching practices.

* Apply guidance and best practices for the collection and management of patient demographic data such as name, sex, gender, date of birth, and addresses for enhanced patient matching for patient services initiated though digital front door interactions such as patient portals, patient created records, patient generated attachments/photos and self-scheduling, understanding their impact on patient matching.
* Use and understand algorithms (basic, intermediate, advanced, probabilistic) within the master patient index (MPI) that identify potential duplicate records to apply best practice solutions for patient matching.

* Understand the strategic impact on the use of biometrics for patient identification practices and technical strategies that can be used to accurately match a patient with their data (e.g., bar code scanning, advanced algorithms to auto match, and artificial intelligence for patient and referential matching.
