Initiate shows off patient identity solution at HIMSS08

Provided by Initiate
Initiate Patient, advanced EMPI, is a master data management (MDM) software application for healthcare enterprises used by integrated delivery networks, regional health organizations, labs, independent physician networks and other healthcare organizations. You can see the latest features at the Initiate booth (#5549) at HIMSS08 in Orlando.

Initiate Patient delivers an accurate, comprehensive view of patients at the point of care, and enables clinical applications and automated business processes to share data more effectively. The application provides accuracy, configurability, performance, scale, security and ease of implementation, while providing the flexibility to change over time as an organization’s needs evolve.

Among its benefits that support organizational increases in patient safety and encourage growth:

Reduce administrative costs associated with resolving data problems
Increase patient, provider and staff satisfaction
Achieve a comprehensive patient view across the organization
Process claims accurately with the right patient and insurance information
Assess duplicate patient rates during merger and acquisition activities

Initiate Patient aids healthcare jurisdictions at all levels in delivering safe, responsive patient care while increasing productivity and cost effectiveness. For example, chronic disease, which accounts for 60 percent of deaths worldwide, is best managed by a team of healthcare providers that includes case managers, physicians, nurses and the patient. Initiate Patient enables these teams to share a single, accurate view of a chronic-disease patient so that they can develop a patient-specific, joint-care plan to minimize the number of visits and procedures, enable medication management and more effectively use healthcare resources.
