The Patient Matching Challenge and a Proven Solution – A Conversation with NCPDP Executives

Patient record matching and accurate identification of patients across the healthcare ecosystem is a top-of-mind challenge in healthcare.  Listen as John Hill, NCPDP’s Chief Operating Officer, and Pooja Babbrah, NCPDP Executive Vice President, Strategy and Industry Alignment, discuss the heightened need for accurately matching patient records as healthcare seeks to increase interoperability, care coordination, and the inclusion of pharmacists in the patient care team. 

Get an update from John and Pooja on the Patient Experience Identifier ™ Solution (PEI) that leverages NCPDP Standards and Experian Health’s expansive consumer demographics, best in class matching methodologies, and now also AI and machine learning to accurately match patient records and assign a unique, provider-neutral identifier to each patient. A recent pilot provided proof that this PEI Solution improves the ability to identify a patient across multiple data sets in disparate systems across multiple states. There will likely be additional pilots as NCPDP increases its efforts to advance the PEI solution to improve patient safety and efficient patient management and care.
