Initiate software for RHIOs/RHINs

Initiate Systems' unparalleled enterprise master person index (EMPI) technology can help RHIOs accurately match and link patient records across the healthcare ecosystem, whether at a hospital, outpatient center, medical laboratory, pharmacy, radiology center, or any other medical facility.

RHIOs (regional health information organizations) and RHINs (regional health information networks) are transforming healthcare by linking physicians and other care providers with clinical information for patients across a region.

RHIOs commonly use enterprise master person index (EMPI) technology that employ sophisticated algorithms to enable patient identification and linking. Such technology links and matches patients by using available demographic attributes such as name, address, date of birth or ZIP code. In a RHIO environment, the EMPI matches and aggregates medical records and information across participating systems without requiring either existing (e.g. SSN) or new (e.g. national health number or a RHIO-specific number) unique identifiers to locate and match patient information.
