MPI: The Glue Holding HIE Together
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| EMPI | enterprise master person index |
| MPI | master patient index |
| master patient index | uses advanced algorithms to link the patient's id to a patient’s EMR |
| An MPI’s precision can be attributed to | the way it is able to use any available field for matching in spite of discrepancies in the way organizations track information. |
| Beth Just | CEO and president of Just Associates, Inc. |
| “An MPI is the cornerstone of any data-sharing initiative,” | Beth Just |
| An EMR provides the clinical information about a patient, while the MPI is the | index for that data |
| patient’s last name, first name, date of birth, gender, address, phone number, and dates and types of visits to the healthcare organization | data points listed within an MPI |
| For RHIOs or a NHIN to be successful, they need to have an MPI to | locate and link to the correct patient record. |
| MPIs are used by RHIOs and NHINs to | keep track of info in their data warehouse |
| info listed in the MPI provides the organization with the ability to confirm that a specific patient is | the correct person |
| Social Security numbers, medical record numbers or patient identification numbers, allergies, physician information, and clinical problems are | additional, or other, info that may be listed in an MPI |
| Victoria Wheatley, vice president of strategic services at Quadramed says, | “The more information a facility stores on its MPI, the more likely it is to have good matches to its records,” |
| A common model for an MPI is that of a | record locator service |
| "-a repository of necessary information" refers to by Victoria Wheatley | concept of an MPI |
| An MPI is a very important piece of the solution, and its role is analogous between what three environments | RHIO, an NHIN, and a community of hospitals |
| particularly critical role of an MPI is to | help medical providers determine if they have the correct patient |
| Cynthia Hyde states, "You have to have a strong baseline of patient information in the MPI in order to have-" | an accurate EMR |
| An MPI can assist distance locations of the same company by joining their | databases & EMR |
| when patient records are accurate, up-to-date, and matched with the correct patient Hyde states that | medication errors and other patient safety factors, can be reduced & minimized |
| Established in the 1980s ___ were one of the earliest patient safety initiatives | EMPIs |
| EMPI software was used by ___ ___ of industries first | other types |
| in the commercial world the driver for the use of an EMPI was | customer satisfaction |
| ___ ___ ___ use EMPIs to retrieve & manage data on each contact with a customer | customer call centers |
| "kind of back of safety net for physicians"; contains reminders of best practice recommendations, as a safety feature | CareSpark’s MPI |
| according to Sheri Stoltenberg, CEO of Stoltenberg Consulting, Inc., deletion of inconsistencies and inaccuracies in an MPI should be done before | any data is shared |
| Salim Kizaraly,of InterComponentWare, points out that an MPIs role is to | aggregate data & assist providers in patient ID |
| Having one method of identifying a patient, regardless of where that patient might present, is | the advantage of linking clinical information |
| some MPIs are able to identify many patient identifiers by using a minimum # of matching fields, including a patient identifier number, allowing for | a more accurate match |
| some RHIO providers have a central database with | patient level data |
| contains MPI data that links the patient data across the RHIOs participants | record locator service |
| by using a machine to do the matching/discriminating rather than a person by hand it | protects patient privacy under HIPPA |
