Hey,
I am currently trying to deduplicate our measurement table and want to make sure that I am not removing any clinically relevant information.
There cases where two providers will order the same measurement within a short timespan. When this happens, only one measurement is taken but we have two rows for that measurement occurrence. The provider_id and measurement_order_datetime will be different but all the variables to do with the actual measurement are the same (i.e. person_id, visit_occurrence, measurement_datetime, value_as_number etc).
Is the provider_id clinically relevant? Or am I able to just bring in one of these rows?
