Share Patient Information Across Regions
As the cost of healthcare increases and the patient population ages, creating a cohesive healthcare system where health information is securely accessed and shared is a clear priority in the United States and countries around the world.
Hospitals and governments (national, state and local) are collaborating to create regional health information networks to enable more comprehensive and coordinated care. Information sharing among these entities will improve healthcare delivery to the communities they serve and reduce costs by infusing efficiencies into care delivery, patient access, prescription/meds management, fraud detection, patient privacy and more.
At the core of any health information sharing in initiative is accurate patient identification. The Initiate® Healthcare solutions for regional connectivity fill this critical role by integrating with disparate, unrelated systems to associate patient identities and create a composite view for use by participating entities. The solution allows you to:
- Extend the use of IT assets. EMPI technology is at the foundation for integration within your health system and with the extended community.
- Increase productivity by connecting fragmented information. Transition from point-of-care reality where information is locked in local applications, to a system-level vision where composite views can be created across registration, clinical information and administrative systems.
- Humanize the patient experience. Improve quality of care and provide a consistent patient experience across all points of care through clinical and demographic information sharing.
- Manage privacy and data governance. Help preserve privacy by keeping data at its source where it’s under local access control; choose to share information you trust and limit how unreliable information is presented.
- Clean up existing data to increase credibility and reduce duplication across fragmented points of care with Initiate MPI Cleanup services.
