Merge patients
Create a deduplication report
This report will allow you to see potential patients duplicated in the system.
Log into RXNT and select Electronic Health Record (EHR) or ePrescribing (eRx)
Click Utilities.
Click the Patient Management section and select Merge Patients.
Click Add New Request to generate a list of potential duplicate patients. This will process overnight and check the system for all patient records that may be duplicated.
Merge duplicates in bulk (recommended)
Once the deduplication report is completed, all potential duplicates will be listed. Click the orange to the left of each duplicate to review them.
Duplicates may be flagged if there are conflicts in the two records, such as a mismatched birth date. Click the red to confirm that the records are true duplicates.
Click Confirm to complete this action.
The icon changes to a green thumbs up and the primary record can be selected using the toggle to the left of the patient name.
If a record match is not a duplicate record, mark it by clicking the red Not a Match icon. This will remove the records from the merge list and future deduplication reports will not return these records as a potential match. You will still be able to manually merge these records.
Click Confirm to complete this action. The patient will automatically be removed from the merge list.
Once you have reviewed all patients in the merge list, select the checkboxes to the left of the patient names and click Merge Records at the top of the merge screen. This will process overnight to merge the patient records.
Merge duplicates manually
A manual merge should be used when there are only a small number of known duplicate patients, otherwise, a bulk merge is most efficient.
Log into RXNT and select Electronic Health Record (EHR) or ePrescribing (eRx)
Click Utilities.
Click the Practice Management section and select Merge Patients.
To use the Manual Patient Merge feature, click Manual Patient Merge.
Enter the information for the duplicated patient and click Search.
Click the checkbox for the patients to be merged. The toggles indicate the primary record for the patient.
When the patients and primary records have been set, click Send Merge Request. This will process overnight to merge the patient records.

Deactivate duplicate patients
ONLY for accounts that do not have EHR or eRx subscriptions
If your RXNT subscription includes the Billing solution and/or the Scheduler solution ONLY (i.e., not enrolled for either EHR or eRx), you have the option of deactivating duplicate patient records.
Search for the duplicate patient records and click the name of the patient record to be deactivated.
Click the patient's name to open the demographic editor.
Click Deactivate.
Click Yes to confirm the patient's deactivation.
Patient records that have been deactivated in error can be reversed by clicking Reactivate in the demographic edit screen.
