PASADENA, Calif., /PRNewswire/ -- NextGate, the global leader in healthcare enterprise identification, announced today a strategic partnership with IDology, a pioneer and trusted leader in identity verification, authentication and fraud prevention. The partnership brings together two identity management leaders to help solve the fundamental challenge of patient misidentification and medical record errors in healthcare. Leveraging the power of identity verification from IDology within its market-leading Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI), NextGate will enable organizations with superior accuracy of patient demographic information. The EMPI’s seamless integration of IDology’s ExpectID solution allows for real-time decisioning and validation of one’s identity using as little input as a patient’s name and address to return a record matching confidence score, thereby avoiding the risks associated with duplicate record creation and identity fraud. Enriching its EMPI with plug-and-play access to over 10,000 proprietary data sources containing billions of public records to instantly validate one’s identity, NextGate customers can benefit from a comprehensive solution for patient matching precision. “Inaccurate, missing or outdated patient information severely hinders clinical and business performance,” said Andy Aroditis, NextGate CEO. “We are delighted to bring IDology’s identity verification technology to our growing list of EMPI customers to enable greater patient ID matching accuracy and utmost trust in their data. The opportunity also supports those on the frontlines of data collection and remediation with effective, straightforward decision-making and record comparison.” The partnership reinforces NextGate’s commitment to progress and its position in the healthcare market as the leading solutions provider in positive patient identification. The company’s flagship EMPI solution, available on-premise or in the cloud, currently manages patient identities for more than two-thirds of the U.S. population. “Our collaboration with NextGate presents a valuable opportunity for healthcare providers to verify a patient’s identity in real-time for quality assurance and data authenticity,” said John Dancu, CEO of IDology. “We are excited to join NextGate’s efforts in facilitating a holistic view of a patient’s health record and history for definitive improvements in quality, delivery and profitability. By taking advantage of this unique opportunity, providers will be well positioned to generate tremendous operational value to their business and thrive in the shift toward accountability.” About IDology About NextGate Media Contacts: View original content to download multimedia:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nextgate-and-idology-partner-to-mitigate-patient-identification-risks-300793461.html SOURCE NextGate |
