Crawl, Walk, Run: Three Real World Patient Matching Case Studies

Patient matching is at the forefront of the national Health IT conversation. Senators are urging the GAO to consider a national patient matching strategy, and the ONC and CHIME have both run patient matching competitions in search of a better approach. 
It’s no secret that a new approach to patient matching is sorely needed. The average duplicate record rate within health systems is 20% and growing. And when exchanging health information between health systems, the patient matching error rate is upwards of 50%. These numbers are jarring, but more importantly they drastically impact patient safety, patient care, and business costs. Luckily, a next-generation patient matching approach exists that organizations can leverage in three simple steps to dramatically improve their patient matching.
Attend this webinar to learn about this next-generation matching approach, called “Referential Matching,” and to hear about the real-world successes that three large healthcare organizations have seen with Referential Matching.
