CSC, NextGate merge master patient index

CSC will work with NextGate Solutions to integrate the NextGate Multi-Language Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) with a range of the healthcare software applications provided by iSoft, which CSC acquired in July 2011.

The NextGate EMPI will be integrated with various CSC’s EHR applications to form the basis of health information systems that will be provided in specific territories. CSC will initially deploy the NextGate EMPI in two major health records projects in Mexico at the Baja State Health Secretariat and Puebla Health Secretariat.

The combination of CSC’s health IT experience and NextGate’s technology will provide a shared view of a patient across organizations, communities and regions.
