Even after your MPI clean-up, hidden duplicates can remain—especially when patients move, change names, or have incomplete demographic details. That’s where 4medica’s Referential Identity Matching comes in.
Instead of comparing one patient record directly to another, our solution queries hundreds of trusted external data sources—all continuously refreshed in real time—to confirm identities and detect duplicates that traditional matching methods miss.
Traditional MPI matching looks only at what’s in your own systems. If the data is outdated or incomplete, you may never catch certain duplicates. These missed matches can cause:
Our referential sources are updated continuously—not in static batches—so you’re always matching against the most current data available.
We cross-check demographic details against vast, validated data sets—including historical addresses, name variations, and more.
Real-time, multi-source validation closes the final gaps in patient matching, moving you closer to 99%+ accuracy.
Works in near real-time at a fraction of the cost of traditional batch-mode processing.
Real-Time Queries
Compares demographic and identifying details against continuously updated referential databases.
Enhanced Matching Logic
Uses additional historical and demographic attributes to resolve uncertain matches.
Results You Can Trust
Removes remaining duplicates and strengthens patient identity confidence across all connected systems.
⚡ Why Real-Time Referential Matching Wins
Real-Time Matching (4medica) | Batch-Mode Matching (Traditional) |
Continuously refreshed data sources — always current | Stale data between scheduled updates |
Hundreds of validated external sources | Limited, static reference sets |
Instant detection of new duplicates | Duplicates may persist until next batch run |
Higher match accuracy (>99%) | Lower match rates with incomplete data |
Supports near real-time workflows | Delays in clinical and operational decisions |
Bottom line: Real-time matching keeps your patient data accurate, connected, and safe—without waiting for the next batch cycle.
