I have tried that many times in various places...but oddly, just as with many other aspects of Blood Banking, they don't seem to see the issue as being as critical as we do in the Blood Bank (don't understand possible patient ramifications). Like where I work now; that they must have 3 identifiers that match "exactly" in order to link a patient. I am sure that in their mind, that is their way of being extra diligent. However, if no one ever made clerical errors, this wouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Like John, I have been known to try to educate those in registration on the importance of getting it right and the consequences of not.

      You can only do so much with the info you are given.  Do the best you can, document when you find errors and let the appropriate department know.
