Nebraska Health Information Initiative (NEHII) Taps NextGate for Statewide Patient Matching and Trusted Data Exchange
Summary
The EMPI will integrate clinical information from 300 participating organizations to deliver a trusted network of unified health records for more than 4 million patients receiving care in Nebraska and the surrounding region. As a strategic component for statewide outcomes improvements and coordination of care, the implementation will enable real-time interoperability and patient data matching for NEHII’s physician, hospital, health plan and pharmacy members. Central to NEHII’s vision to be the population health utility for the state was to find a patient identity management partner that would eliminate silos of information and deliver a complete picture of a patient’s medical history. “We are proud to be working with NextGate to ensure our members have meaningful data insights at the point of care to treat patients uniquely across the state,” said Jamie Bland, CEO of NEHII. Committed to helping organizations overcome the clinical, operational and financial challenges that result from duplicate records and disparate data, our full suite of identity matching solutions connects the entire healthcare ecosystem to drive critical improvements in quality, efficiency and safety.
