Costs

There are several reasons why the cost of healthcare is increased because of patient identification errors:

• Duplicate tests are performed because recent test results cannot be located
• Providers spend time looking for information that has been mis-placed
• Multiple patient records are created because existing records cannot be located.  It takes time and dollars to merge records.
• Patient records are overlayed with another patient because of mistakes in matching patients to records.  These mistakes are costly to repair
• In this last scenario the potential for substantial litigation costs is high
• Mitigation of identity theft is costly
