IBM Enterprise Master Person Index (EMPI)

What it is

IBM Initiate EMPI is a flexible tool that helps resolve patient and provider identity across disparate systems. It provides the highest level of patient matching accuracy to eliminate duplicate patient records that often plague the creation of an enterprise patient record, or electronic health record (EHR).

With IBM Initiate EMPI, you gain immediate access to complete, accurate, reliable patient data you can trust throughout your enterprise.
