Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Overlay and duplicate records pose a particularly insidious problem today for healthcare organizations--and pediatric hospitals in particular--that are introducing new information systems or upgrading their existing systems. Such erroneous records can be costly and time-consuming to identify and correct, and can lead to lost reimbursement and compromised quality of care. To address the problem, senior financial leaders need to recognize the critical importance of data integrity and take steps to ensure that the people and processes are in place to establish and maintain it.
