COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS Request our free eMPI Clean-up Cost Benefit Analysis report.

Data integrity in Electronic Health Records (EHR) is fast becoming top priority at healthcare organizations. An enterprise master patient index (eMPI/MPI) clean-up is not only a key part of a successful EHR implementation or conversion, but the effect of existing duplicate medical record numbers (DMRN) can result in severe adverse patient care outcomes. e4 has an experienced team of medical records experts that have led successful eMPI clean-up initatives at multiple organizations across the US. eMPI initiatives have become very popular with our clients because when using a leading eMPI cleanup vendor like e4, they save money, increase the level of patient care and satisfaction, and gain clinician EHR support.

e4 distinguishes itself with a unique ability to not only lead and correct the eMPI issues, but also to assist in identifying and solving the underlying causes of further DMRN creations. Our unique Quality Analysis and ongoing support of patient access workflows, coupled with LEAN methodologies, will ensure a low DMRN rate going forward.

It is estimated that a single healthcare facility can have between a 5% and 20% duplicate medical record rate, and up to a 40% DMRN rate at a multi-entity organization. Source:
