Just Associates President Beth Just and Grant Landsbach, System Manager for Data Governance and Interoperability at SCL Health, sit down with Healthcare Scene’s John Lynn to explore one of healthcare’s most dangerous misidentification problems—overlaid medical records. Beth, Grant and John discuss original research into the prevalence and causes of overlays, the role of technology in both their creation and eradication, clinical and financial costs, and best practices for eliminating and preventing them.
