The growing demand for health information exchange brings the challenges of accurate patient identification to the forefront, especially for children who often don’t have common identifiers or have non-static demographic information. Patient matching is complicated for adults, so how do we address the unique challenges of patient identity matching in pediatrics?

eHI joins experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, AHIMA, clinicians and technology leaders to discuss these challenges, including confidentiality concerns around matching children according to parental data and ensuring health data is accurate as children transition from pediatrics.
