In the world of value-based healthcare, the role of the pharmacy is expanding. In order to deliver the most impactful care, accurate patient data is a necessity. Matching patients with their records is a challenge for every hospital, doctor’s office, lab and pharmacy. Failing to do so properly can put patients at risk, and could result in money wasted on unnecessary tests, unwarranted procedures and erroneous prescriptions. Utilizing a Universal Patient Identifier (UPI) within the pharmacy provides a solution. UPIs aid in record matching and patient data cleansing, leading to more effective health outcomes.
A UPI can address record matching problems due to such issues as:
Implementing the UPI means that pharmacists can be more confident as they conduct business, knowing that they have more reliable, better quality records at their fingertips than ever before, because patient records are more accurately matched. This allows them to work expediently, and focus on more critical objectives, such as patient engagement at the point of care. The result: Increased patient safety and improved health outcomes.
