NextGate and Healthfully Partner to Give Patients Safe, Reliable Access to Personal Health Data
Healthfully adds real-time patient identity matching to its consumer health platform
LOS ANGELES and PASADENA, Calif., June 2 – NextGate, the global leader in healthcare enterprise identification, and Healthfully, an enterprise healthcare solutions provider that addresses multiple health and wellness touch points in the patient journey, today announced a strategic partnership to meet increasing consumer demand for reliable access to personal health data.
Healthcare organizations rely on Healthfully’s comprehensive platform to simplify the health experience for all involved. Its ability to provide communication between caregivers and patients, deliver targeted health programs, and much more all depend on accurate patient data from a variety of sources. By integrating NextGate’s cloud-based Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI), Healthfully’s personal health and wellness record gains robust patient identity matching technology.
NextGate’s market-leading EMPI solution, which manages patient identities for more than two-thirds of the U.S. population, seamlessly links data across the continuum for a trusted, unified health record.
“Incomplete or inaccurate data in one’s health record can be detrimental to patient safety and a major impediment to patient empowerment,” said Andy Aroditis, CEO of NextGate. “We commend Healthfully for prioritizing patient identification as key component to consumer engagement and data access so individuals can make the most informed decisions about their health.”
“Our solution integrates, clinical, social, wellness and patient-generated information,” said Paul Viskovich, CEO of Healthfully. “Leveraging NextGate’s EMPI as part of the Healthfully platform will give our users access to trusted, high-quality health data for informed decision-making, better outcomes and a greater patient experience.”
