For the CIO and HIM

Fix the record you already hold.

When your EMPI flags a possible duplicate, Vouched compares the faces on each record and returns a likelihood of duplication, so HIM teams resolve duplicates and overlays with evidence instead of guesswork.

Two patient records compared by faceYour EMPI flags Jonathan Reyes, 12 Elm St, from 2019, and Jon Reyes, 12 Elm Lane, from 2024, as a possible duplicate. Vouched compares the face from a selfie on one record with the ID photo on the other and returns a high likelihood of duplication, marked for review.

The risk

Every duplicate is a patient-safety risk.

Misspelled names and changed addresses create duplicate medical record numbers that split a patient’s history, so no one sees the whole person.

Mortality

5×

More likely to die in hospital: patients with duplicate records, compared with those with one

Prevalence

5–10%

Of U.S. patients are thought to have duplicate medical records

The workflow inside Epic

Your EMPI finds the candidates. Vouched compares the faces.

Vouched doesn’t search your records for duplicates. It adds face evidence to the candidates your matching system already flags.

  1. 1

    Flag

    Your EMPI, MDM or registration system flags records that may belong to the same person.

  2. 2

    Compare

    Vouched vectorizes the face from a selfie or ID photo on each record and compares them, regardless of name or address differences.

  3. 3

    Decide

    You get a likelihood of duplication, so HIM teams merge with evidence or keep the records apart.

Vouched compares faces only; it doesn’t compare ID document data, names or addresses, and records don’t need prior Vouched verification.

The proof

Stop new duplicates at the source.

When registration starts from a verified identity instead of typed demographics, new duplicates stop at the front door, and the face match resolves the ones you already hold.

FAQ

Patient matching, answered.

Straight answers for CIOs and HIM teams about patient matching.

Contact us with a question
Does Vouched find duplicate patient records?

No. Your EMPI, MDM or registration system finds candidate duplicates. Vouched compares the faces on the flagged records and returns a likelihood of duplication.

What does Vouched compare?

Only faces, from a selfie or an ID photo on each record. It doesn’t compare ID document data, names or addresses.

Do records need prior Vouched verification?

No. Vouched can compare any records that hold a selfie or ID photo.

How does this help HIM teams?

It adds face evidence to the decision, so teams merge true duplicates and keep different people apart with confidence.

How does verification prevent new duplicates?

When registration starts from a verified identity instead of typed demographics, new duplicates stop at the source.
