Integrating patient medical records in pursuit of the EMR
Through data quality remediation and MPI cleanup, medical facilities can pave the way for electronic medical records (EMRs) and reduce the dangers of duplicate records. Initiate analyzed 300 large MPI files, discovering:
- The reasons for high error rates typical in larger MPI files, such as identification discrepancies
- Why data failures happen, including the limitations of existing search technologies
- Risks and costs of medical record duplication, poor data quality and incomplete records
