What might have happened and how can we prevent this in the future?"Occasionally when twins, triplets, etc. have similar names (in addition to having the same birthdate, address, and parent information), the system interprets them as the same person and will automatically merge the records. To prevent this, whenever there is a multiple birth, the “Birth Event Outcome” and “Birth Order” should be recorded. This will help prevent the siblings’ records merging due to similarity in demographics.

Para prevenir esto, siempre que hay un nacimiento múltiple, se debe de registrar el Resultado del Evento del Nacimiento (“Birth Event Order”) y Orden de Nacimiento (“Birth Order”). Esto ayudara a evitar que los registros de los hermanos se unan debido a similitudes en la demografía.
