How does CRISP handle the master patient index (MPI) number?

CSS utilizes the MPI to ensure data accuracy and seamlessly reconcile patient records. In Florida, where we have many residents living in multiple states or traveling, this is key to ensuring the right data is being assigned to the correct person. We use a FHIR/USCDI API integration layer to facilitate efficient data interoperability and advanced patient matching and parsing. This integration layer is part of our broader approach to modernizing public health data infrastructure, which includes the use of a data lake for curating reports and a clinical data repository for informed decision-making.

The integration of these technologies allows for a comprehensive and accurate MPI, which is crucial for healthcare providers to make informed decisions and improve patient care.
