      Hello,

      With little documentation on my implementation and only a working familiarity with Cloverleaf ( 5.8 ) I will try to explain what I am trying to accomplish.

      I am looking for a way to create an exception for a specific inbound record. The current implementation strips various names from inbound messages (based on an exclusion table(name_edit.tbl / last_name_edit.tbl)) before passing values to Initiate. Values such mr/mrs/brother/sister/reverend/captain etc are stripped away if they are passed in the name field.

      I have a recurring case where a persons legal name is one of the excluded values and continues to cause data quality issues. Removing the name from the exclusion list is the simplest approach but not an ideal solution.

      Is it possible to flag a specific record in a case such as this to allow it to pass through cloverleaf without having the offending value stripped?

      Any help/insight/guidance would be much appreciated.

      Thanks!

      Brad

          The only way I see you being able to do anything about this is by creating an if not statement on the script that calls the table and referencing the field of the message where the MRN of the patient is stored.  In plain English, it would read “If not 233984, then reference the table”  That’s a clunky fix as now your entire feed is subjected to this qualifier due to one single person, but I can’t really think of another way.

          That’s hypothetical without seeing the message (with PHI removed) or how you are performing the exclusion.  Is the title not separated in a different subfield from the name?

          I know that The Avengers has become popular, but they should warn people about the unintended side effects of naming your kid Captain America…
