| PASADENA, Calif., /PRNewswire/ -- NextGate, the global leader in healthcare enterprise identification, announced today that Valley Health System has selected its Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) to eliminate costly duplicate records and provide automated medical record matching. The solution will enable significant improvements in coordinated care delivery and outcomes for New Jersey-based Valley Health System by consistently connecting the right data to the right individual for a trusted and consolidated window of care.
Valley Health System, which serves 440,000 residents in northern New Jersey and southern New York, is the latest organization to implement NextGate’s market-leading EMPI platform to centralize and unify patient data at an enterprise level across a growing, technologically diverse healthcare environment. As organizations transition to value-based payment and care delivery models, the need for a complete and accurate view of patient data across the continuum becomes increasingly critical for greater clinical, operational and financial performance. Inaccurate patient identification costs the U.S. healthcare system $6 billion annually and results in medical errors, data quality issues, administrative waste, and poor patient and provider satisfaction. “Healthcare organizations continue to struggle with poor data quality when managing their patient population. Fragmented multi-vendor systems only compound the problem, giving rise to duplicate, inaccurate and outdated patient information,” said NextGate CEO Andy Aroditis. “NextGate is honored to support Valley Health System with a fully-integrated, automated solution where individuals are properly identified and matched to their health record throughout every step of the continuum for improved delivery and quality of care.” NextGate’s flagship EMPI solution, which manages patient identities for more than two-thirds of the U.S. population, empowers physicians and hospitals by seamlessly linking medical records in any given system and reconciling data discrepancies across multiple sources and sites of care with a single best patient record. “Incomplete or inaccurate data in one’s health record can be detrimental to patient safety and a major barrier to providing highly-coordinated, individualized care. Safe and effective care management hinges on the ability to view a holistic, real-time portrait of patients during every encounter,” said Michael Burke, Asst. Vice President of Information Systems at Valley Health System. “NextGate’s EMPI Platform will play a significant role in our transformational journey toward improved data exchange, provider collaboration, and operational efficiency for value-based care success.” About NextGate About Valley Health System Media Contact:
