Reconcile Clinical Records
Clinical reconciliation allows you to review and add individual records (medical problems, medications, and allergies) from an imported Summary of Care file to the patient's existing record in axiUm. After successful reconciliation, all selected information displays in the EHR module.
Tip: In most cases, this occurs when you import a Summary of Care file into axiUm. However, if you chose not to reconcile a Summary of Care file when importing it, you can also reconcile the file’s content from within axiUm.
If your institution uses the Consistency of Care (CoC) or Carequality (CQ) modules, updated Summary of Care files may be imported automatically when available. After reviewing an imported Summary of Care file, you can reconcile all or selected information as necessary.
Auto-reconciliation is also available for any institution that uses Carequality. Once auto-reconciliation rules are enabled, all applicable records in C-CDA files will be auto-reconciled when the files are imported into axiUm.
Note: If any records in a file cannot be auto-reconciled, the file will be available for reconciliation until all remaining records are manually reviewed and reconciled or disregarded.
Warning: Any information that is added into axiUm can have a direct impact on the patient’s health. When necessary, you may need to review changes manually and delete reconciled records from the EHR that are incorrect or no longer needed.
For more information on Consistency of Care or Carequality, refer to the Consistency of Care and Carequality Guides.
To reconcile a clinical record:
- Select a patient and open the Attachments/Consents module.
- Under Section, select an option and click a sub-tab to display all Summary of Care files.
Tip: If necessary, select the Show Deleted checkbox to include all deleted files.

Under Type, select one of the following to display:
-
Medical Problems
-
Medications

Under C-CDA Patient “X” Information, select the listed items you want to add to axiUm, and click Add.
