Automate the “Worst Part” of Patient Matching

"Almost too good to be true!" - Boston Medical Center

Worklist Automation with 4medica's IdentiMatch™ reduces manual patient matching by up to 90% integrating with any MPI or patient matching system.

All of 4medica's identity management solutions are completely modular, offered standalone or bundled, increasing the value and useability of your data from good to better to best.

Every patient matching engine—whether from 4medica or another vendor—produces a work list of records in the gray zone: potential matches that need human review. This manual process is slow, inconsistent, and costly—especially during hospital mergers, EHR migrations, or large-scale data clean-ups.

Meet IdentiMatch™

4medica’s Worklist Automation solution reduces manual patient matching by up to 90%, leaving you with a true exception list for your data stewards. It integrates with any MPI or patient matching system, enforces your own business rules, and accelerates results.

The outcome: faster go-lives, reduced staffing costs, and more consistent decisions across your organization.
