NextGate`s mission is to address the fundamental challenge of data management in the healthcare industry: the uncertainties and missed opportunities caused by duplicate and disconnected records in a data population. While implementing interface engine technology for hospitals in the early 1990s, we noticed a troubling trend – as application systems became integrated and exchanged data with each other, problems caused by duplicate and incomplete patient records (previously confined to one system and its MPI) multiplied and contaminated the data quality of other systems. Because this technical issue could impact a patient`s health, we made it our goal to find a solution. The result was MatchMetrix®, a technology platform that invokes probabilistic and other algorithms to identify duplicate and potentially duplicate records within a single data set or across multiple data sets. All records are assigned a unique ID that serves as an enterprise-wide universal key for accurate identification and efficient data exchange. Duplicate records are merged, related records are linked together, and all of them are indexed into a trusted, consistent, and reliable registry accessible to any authorized application or user. We continue to develop solutions that help manage information that facilitates care team collaboration with accuracy and reliability.
