In general, these procedures should be limited to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Protected Health Information (PHI) pertaining to one person or persons, but entered inadvertently into the record of a different person.

All efforts to correct documentation errors at the user level should be expended prior to requesting a correction. Patient-initiated requests to correct the EHR must be completed within 60 days of the request being received by the covered entity (the Military Medical Treatment Facility (MTF)), or 90 days if applicable extension requirements are met.
