4medica joins WTC Indianapolis in bid to deploy worldwide accurate patient matching

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Capping off a year that saw 4medica, the clinical data exchange company, move to the front of the U.S. market for enterprise-scale patient identity matching, the company is setting its sights on matching patient data to the right records on an international level.

Healthcare organizations around the world are experiencing the same digital data challenges as their counterparts in the U.S., to whom they are looking for guidance on how to inject patient data integrity and interoperability into electronic health records. 4medica has joined with World Trade Center Indianapolis in a strategic move to cultivate business relationships with these organizations and to further Indiana's reputation as a growing tech corridor in the Midwest.

"As the patient identity matching partner for some of the nation's leading state health information exchanges and networks, 4medica will be an invaluable resource for WTC Indianapolis partners, clients and visiting dignitaries from other countries who are seeking best-in-breed U.S. healthcare data management and interoperability solutions," said Doris Anne Sadler, President and CEO of WTC Indianapolis. 

Why accurate patient matching is a global need

Across the world, countries have adopted electronic health records, along with the inherent challenges in making sure the data in these records are about the right patients. This applies even to countries that assign patient-specific numbers. In the U.S., of course, no such number is assigned by the government, but some state healthcare entities are easily circumventing that problem with the 4medica Big Data MPI™, a master patient index solution which includes a "4ever ID™" to assign to every patient identity. Once assigned, the 4medica Big Data MPI™ correctly matches incoming patient data to the right patient record in real time—and going several leaps forward, enriches this master patient record with the latest information after vetting its accuracy.  

These powerful capabilities are needed by every organization that exchanges health data, regardless if a patient ID is in place, and represent the kind of best-in-class technology that other countries seek to mirror. As a member of the powerful World Trade Centers Association (WTCA), which has over 300 World Trade Centers in 90 countries, WTC Indianapolis is a dynamic conduit to introduce 4medica to these countries.

Indeed, since engaging with WTC Indianapolis, 4medica has already met with officials from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), whose largest city, Dubai, is within an 8-hour flight of two thirds of the world's population. The UAE's Ministry of Health is actively exploring healthcare technology in the United States, in addition to numerous other countries intent on making the exchange of electronic health data accurate and efficient.

"WTC Indianapolis, paired with Indiana's business-friendly environment and highly capable workforce, has positioned the state to become a global hub of innovation. Our own Indiana offices are a strategic location for us as we seek to spread life-saving patient data integrity across the state and the Midwest, and with our partnership with WTC Indianapolis, around the world," said Gregg Church, President of 4medica.
