By establishing a Master Patient Index (MPI) and longitudinal patient record for over 750,000 Medicaid/CHIP beneficiaries, Mississippi improves patient safety and care.
MedeAnalytics announced that the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (Mississippi DOM) launched a clinical data repository, provider portal and Medicaid Master Patient Index (MPI). Leveraging MedeAnalytics’ robust analytics platform and Medicaid Management solution, Mississippi DOM now has a single-identifier for each of Mississippi’s 750,000 active Medicaid beneficiaries. Medicaid providers can access a harmonized state-wide MPI that allows administrators to easily manage a patient’s longitudinal record and improve patient safety and care.
After using the MedeAnalytics’ proprietary algorithms, Mississippi DOM’s staff achieved a 95 percent confidence rate in the integrity of their MPI. This process included analyzing and de-duplicating more than a decade of medical records from 2.3 million Medicaid beneficiaries. A clean MPI is especially critical for Medicaid beneficiaries who require advanced care management programs and may have a long, fragmented medical history.
Upon successful implementation of the existing scope and looking to the future, Mississippi DOM expanded the scope of the project to include harmonization of the Medicaid clinical MPI with external stakeholders, such as the state Health Information Exchange (HIE), to support clinical data exchange.
