Community eMPI

The Certify enterprise master patient index (eMPI) is unlike any other in the industry. We identify the patient at all points of service using Certify’s proprietary HealthDock® edge servers. 

The Certify enterprise master patient index (eMPI) is unlike any other in the industry. We identify the patient at all points of service using Certify’s proprietary HealthDock® edge servers. By keeping patient demographics inside the firewall of each HIE participant, Certify has eliminated physician resistance that is common with centralized patient-matching systems. The Certify model does not require HIE participants to load patient demographics into a centralized third-party database. Our community eMPI automatically builds as users exchange clinical information across the network. As your number of HIE participants grows, the Certify community eMPI scales accordingly to meet your network expansion.

The Certify community eMPI has many advantages over traditional eMPI products, including:

  • A distributed (federated) model that allows HIE participants to keep their patient proprietary demographics secure behind their firewall
  • An automated and semi-automated matching algorithm that has the flexibility to meet workflow dynamics in any office environment
  • An alert-driven user interface that displays patient demographics in an easy-to-view and use format
  • Direct EMR ADT connection using TCP/IP, File Transfer or Web Services
  • One-to-many and many-to-one matching capability, thereby eliminating the issue of duplicate records
  • Supports Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles, including Patient Identifier eXchange (PIX) and Patient Demographic Query (PDQ)
  • An end-to-end audit trail providing visibility for all HIE participants

Enterprise HIE deployments with the Certify community eMPI are faster and more reliable than any other solution available today. Our hospital and health system clients are breaking down the barriers to HIE participation and achieving immediate results across their entire enterprise. Our federated approach leveraging Healthdock® intelligent edge servers has gained broad market support and is quickly becoming the model of choice among leading healthcare systems and their affiliated physicians.
