New Clinical Data Repository on the Way for Health Information Exchanges

MARINA DEL REY, Calif., April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In its latest offering for the health information exchange technology stack, 4medica is launching a new clinical data repository (CDR) in early summer. Designed and developed for health information exchanges (HIEs) and other organizations with a stake in making patient data accessible across technology and geographic boundaries—and that want to extend into actual data storage--the 4medica CDR will also match patient records and eliminate duplicate records with powerful accuracy and speed. This is an industry imperative for HIEs that aim to be their healthcare community's proven "source of truth."

"Everyone agrees access to patient-centric data is the end goal. But the data must be accurately matched to the right patient, or else all the time and resource investment in interoperability initiatives is wasted," said Gregory Church, President of 4medica.  

Church continued, "So who will be the custodian to verify and validate the data? Someone capable must assume this responsibility. With 20 years of experience in clinical data interoperability, and standardizing and aggregating tens of millions of patient identities, 4medica is better prepared than any other entity to take this role on."

How the 4medica CDR advances a universal patient record

Historically, HIEs move rather than store healthcare data. But for today's "HIE 2.0" that wants to create a nationally accessible home for patient-centric data, a CDR is a must. To that end, the 4medica offering will provide a secure, scalable environment for a comprehensive view of patient-centric data.

Crucially, because of 4medica's powerful data enrichment engine that matches records in real time while utilizing unlimited historical values—creating a powerfully reliable master patient record—all stakeholders can be assured data is about the right patient. The CDR in turn can be accessed by providers, labs, payers, and most importantly, patients. Feature highlights include:

• FHIR-based engine
• The 4medica Big Data MPI for accurate, real time record matching
• Cloud-based
• HIPAA-compliant
• Patient and provider portals

"This is an exciting time for HIEs, who are moving beyond interoperability to offer universal views of patient data. 4medica looks forward to providing the secure, scalable infrastructure to achieve this long-sought end goal of the entire healthcare community," Church concluded.
