Built for healthcare’s increasingly complex and disparate IT environment, NextGate’s EMPI solution delivers a comprehensive record of care by linking and de-duplicating data across an infinite number of systems, sources and locations for accurate patient identification and real-time information exchange.
COVID-19 has served as a sobering reminder of the continued patient matching vulnerabilities of our nation’s healthcare system. Collecting and analyzing patient data from hospitals, labs and other entities is vital to improving our public health response to the pandemic. Yet, faults in the ability to accurately match and collect patient demographics are obstructing the road to recovery.
“In today’s challenging environment, healthcare organizations can no longer afford to deny the critical role of patient identification,” said Gevik Nalbandian, Vice President of Software Engineering for NextGate. “As the most robust identity management solution on the market, V11 is making it easier, faster and more reliable to deliver immediate improvements across the continuum.”
