Share our journey implementing an Enterprise Master Person Index (EMPI), a data registry that receives person information from multiple source systems and uses an algorithm with thresholds to match and link this information into unique entities.  Use of the EMPI solves patient and provider identity issues when sharing information across many organizations as each person is assigned a unique entity identifier. 

Session will include:

  • Implementation architecture
  • Example use cases:
    • Patient
    • Provider
    • API for active integration
  • Data governance    
  • Lessons learned
