What goes wrong today
Front-office data errors are cheap to prevent and expensive to fix. A wrong address is a returned statement; a wrong payer is a denial and a rework cycle weeks later, by which time nobody remembers the call.

What good looks like
Capture that validates as it goes and flags conflicts against what is already on file, rather than silently overwriting or duplicating a record.
- Validation at the point of capture
- Conflict flags against the existing record
- Duplicate-patient detection
- A correction path that does not require a callback
What to measure
Pick these before you change anything, so the effect is visible rather than anecdotal.
- Clean-claim rate
- Denials coded to registration errors
- Duplicate records created per month
