Hartford Hospital and NextGate team up for HIE
Hartford Hospital is collaborating with NextGate in a health information exchange implementation and a separate work-flow integration project using NextGate's MatchMetrix indexing software to identify a patient across various encounters and locations within and beyond the Connecticut-based Hartford Healthcare system.
Based on open-source technologies, MatchMetrix will allow Hartford Hospital and its partners to maintain their current systems and processes while including a management suite to assist in resolving patient identity issues. The suite complies with the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise Patient Identifier Cross-Referencing and Patient Demographics Query protocols, according to Arcadia, Calif.-based Nextgate.
MatchMetrix provides patient identities for Hartford Hospital’s physician EMR project. Participating providers can share patient admission, discharge and transfer data from physicians’ offices through a central MatchMetrix implementation, Nextgate said.
