Frequently asked questions

Co-mingled records are documents for another patient included in the same file or case packet. MediScan flags potential patient mismatches so a reviewer can check identifiers against the source.

No. Inspect the original record and confirm which patient it concerns. Use inclusion or exclusion controls to manage the review while keeping the source available for verification.
