This study presents the cross-enterprise integration profile (PIX) for healthcare, detailing algorithms for patient data cross-referencing and ID merging to enhance master patient index (MPI) systems.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Computer Science
Context:
- Healthcare systems face challenges with fragmented patient data.
- Accurate patient identification is crucial for safe and efficient care delivery.
Purpose:
- To introduce the cross-enterprise integration profile (PIX) for seamless health information exchange.
- To present novel algorithms for patient data cross-referencing and ID merging.
- To describe a master patient index (MPI) implementation utilizing the PIX profile.
Summary:
- The paper details the PIX integration profile, a standardized method for connecting disparate health information systems.
- It includes a cross-referencing algorithm to link patient records across different facilities.
- An ID-merging algorithm reconciles duplicate patient identities, and a master patient index (MPI) is implemented using PIX.
Impact:
