The master patient index (MPI) saves work because vital information can be obtained from the database rather than rekeyed with each client visit.
 
  This decreases the possibility of making a mistake and eliminates the inadvertent creation of duplicate records. Which of the following are key features of an effective MPI? Select all that apply. 1. It is flexible enough to allow inclusion of additional identification.
  2. It facilitates the evaluation of client care.
  3. It locates records in real time for timely retrieval of information.
  4. It is easily reconfigured to accommodate network changes.
  5. It can grow to fit an organization of any size.

Question 2

The master patient index (MPI) is a database that lists all identifiers assigned to one client in all the information systems used within an enterprise.
 
  It assigns a global identification number for each client and allows clients to be identified by demographic information provided at the point of care. When the MPI cannot match a client's record based on demographic data, what is provided to the user? 1. The data dictionary resources
  2. Non-citizen information so that the user may find a different identifier
  3. All possible matches so that the user may view and select
  4. The Social Security number

Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale: Key features of an effective MPI are: locates records in real time for timely retrieval of information, is flexible enough to allow inclusion of additional identification, is easily reconfigured to accommodate network changes, and can grow to fit an organization of any size. Facilitating the evaluation of client care would apply to NANDA, NIC, and NOC.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: When the MPI cannot match a client's record based on demographic data, all possible matches are provided for the user to view and select. The MPI may use first and last names, birthdates, Social Security numbers, and driver's license numbers. It cannot rely on a single type of number, such as a Social Security number, because of duplicates and the fact that some people, such as noncitizens, may not have one.
