MPI (Master Patient Index) Identity Matching

Get Patient Identity Right from the Start - Guaranteed!

When patient identities are inaccurate, everything else falls apart. Duplicate or mismatched records lead to medical errors, billing issues, compliance risks, and frustrated staff. The 4medica MPI (Master Patient Index) Identity Matching solution ensures that every record in your system belongs to the right person—right from the start.

 

We combine advanced identity-matching algorithms, robust data quality rules, and our proven methodology to reduce duplication rates to 1% or less—and we guarantee it. No other vendor matches our combination of technology, people, and processes, or backs it with a performance guarantee.

What is MPI Identity Matching?

Your MPI (or EMPI) is the central database that links patient records from across all your systems into a single, accurate “golden record” for each individual.
4medica takes this core function to the next level by:

 

  • Ingesting and standardizing data from every connected source
  • Applying advanced probabilistic, deterministic, and referential matching logic
  • Using decades of historical data sources to make matches no one else can
  • Merging records under the correct patient ID while preserving full clinical history

The result? A trusted identity foundation that eliminates duplicates, reduces errors, and enables every other data initiative—from interoperability to whole-person care—to succeed.

How It Works

1

Ingest & Profile Your Data
Normalize key fields and identify systemic data hygiene issues before matching begins.

2

Advanced Matching & De-duplication
Apply multi-layered matching algorithms, including referential data and historical sources.

3

Merge & Create the Golden Record
Consolidate duplicates into a single, accurate identity.

4

Ongoing Monitoring
Keep duplication rates low with real-time alerts and continuous validation.
