Enterprise HealthMPIMaster Patient Index
A database that maintains one unique, accurate identity for each patient across all of an organization's systems.
Key facts
- Maintains one unique identity per patient across systems.
- Reconciles duplicate or conflicting records.
- Foundational to an accurate system of record.
What it means
An MPI (or enterprise MPI) reconciles records so one person is not split across duplicate or conflicting identities. It is foundational to a system of record: surveillance, immunization and injury histories only stay accurate if every encounter ties back to the right single identity, even as data arrives from many feeds.
