Abstract
The University of Alberta Hospitals, Edmonton, required an efficient phonetic reduction of names for accessing up to one-million patient records. The familiar Soundex methodology was enhanced, to provide some equating of beginning letters but somewhat greater discrimination beyond. The result was a potent 16-bit representation; an appropriate algorithm is provided.Entities:
