Health care facilities maintain either a manual or automated MPI. Briefly describe the purpose of an MPI and state the retention period for the MPI
An MPI links a patient's medical record number with common identification data elements (for example, patient's complete name, date of birth, gender, mother's maiden name, and Social Security number). The MPI is the key to locating paper-based records in the HIM department file system. The MPI should be maintained permanently.
