Scenario Where a Person Is Not Found in Either the NextGen® Database or External System

When you enter search criteria in the Patient/Person Lookup window, the EMPI Query Interaction System (EMPI QIS) first searches all records available in the NextGen® database and then searches all records available in the external system. If no results are found, you can create a record for the person. From the main toolbar in NextGen® Enterprise PM, select Chart. In the Patient Lookup window, enter search criteria, and select Find. The system first searches the NextGen® database. When the patient is not found, it searches the external system and displays a message indicating that no records are found in the external MPI. Select OK. The EMPI Patient Lookup window opens. To search the external system again, enter new search criteria, and then select EMPI Find. To create a person record, select New.

Scenario Where a Person Is Found Only in the External System

In this scenario, only the external system contains the person's demographic information, and there is no difference between trusted and untrusted environments. When you enter search criteria in the Person/Patient Lookup window, the EMPI QIS first searches all records in the NextGen® database and then searches records in the external system. If no results are found in the NextGen® database, the system automatically returns results from the external system. To differentiate the results of your search in the Person/Patient Lookup window, the person record returned from the external system displays a different icon than a record stored in the NextGen® database. When you select this person from the Person/Patient Lookup window, the person is automatically added to the NextGen® database, and the MPI number is set. If you change any demographic information, the updated information is sent to the external system through the Rosetta Interface. From the main toolbar in NextGen® Enterprise PM, s

Scenario Where a Person Is Found but Unlinked in Both the NextGen® Database and External System

From the main toolbar in NextGen® Enterprise PM, select Chart. In the Patient Lookup window, enter search criteria, and select Find. The system searches the NextGen® database and displays the results in the Patient Lookup window. Select a patient, and then select Open. The EMPI Search window opens and displays a list of potential matches found in the NextGen® database. Double-click a record to link it with both systems. If the external system is trusted, the NextGen® database is updated with the demographic data from the eternal system. Otherwise, the external system is updated with the demographic data from the NextGen® database. To add the person's demographic data to the external system, select No Matches. To continue without linking the patient to both systems, select Ignore. Parent topic: Troubleshooting Patient Lookup Issues

Scenario where Person Only Exists in the NextGen Database

In this scenario, only the NextGen database contains the person's demographic information. When a user enters search criteria in the Person/Patient Lookup window, the EMPI Query Interaction System first checks if the person and MPI # exists in the NextGen Database. If the MPI # does not exist in the NextGen Database, the user can then select the person from the NextGen Database or add the person to the external system. When users add the person to the external system, the person's demographic data from the NextGen database is sent to the EMPI system and an MPI # link to the person's record is sent back to the NextGen database.
