Identity Management in Healthcare

Patients receive care at various hospitals, physician offices, clinics, etc. around the country. Being able to identify a patient across disparate systems is a challenge many healthcare professionals are facing. However, with an Enterprise-wide Master Patient/Person Index (EMPI) solution, a complete and accurate view of patient information from multiple sources across facilities and databases can decrease duplicate records of an individual, and help increase registration efficiency and accuracy.

Establishing an EMPI solution is the first step towards building an infrastructure for sharing electronic health records and improving patient care. Accenx recognizes the importance of assigning a single identifier to manage the identity of a patient across multiple systems in an EMPI, and has partnered with the leader in identity management, Initiate Systems.

Initiate Systems offers the most accurate and scalable Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) solution available. The Initiate Identity Hub™ software creates an accurate, complete view of patient information from data dispersed across multiple facilities, application systems and databases to deliver a comprehensive picture of each patient in real-time at all points of service.

With Accenx’s flagship product, Ambulatory Collaborative Model (HIE), Accenx can help hospitals share clinical records with remote physician office EMR systems, while successfully matching a patient’s order number and the EMR MRN to ensure the identity of a person.
