Finally, here is a useful, usable resource to help public health practitioners and private providers tackle the challenges of “deduplication,” that is, the systematic matching and merging of records in an information system to create an accurate, unique health record for each individual.

The Portfolio guides information systems managers through descriptions and explanations of the major concepts around creating a unified record for an individual. For public health leaders, the Portfolio provides a high-level overview, from resource and policy perspectives, on the implications of integrated systems and strategies for record matching, linking, and merging.

The Unique Records Portfolio is a product of Connections, a community of practice that assists public health agencies with planning and developing integrated information systems essential to improving the health of children.

The Portfolio includes:

  • High-quality, full-color 130-page book printed on heavy paper stock with numerous graphics. 
  • CD of the entire book.
  • An Overview for Public Health Leaders, which resides in a pocket folder for easy access.
  • A Conceptual Framework for understanding what is needed to tackle a deduplication project, along with real-world case examples.
  • The Unique Records Profile Questionnaire and Self-Assessment Checklists, also in pull-out pockets.
  • A chapter on Metrics and Evaluation.
  • The Unique Records Glossary.
