  2. Administrative, Billing, and Financial SystemsLearning Objectives • Discuss the core elements of a Master Patient Index (MPI) • Describe current trends to establish a Unique Patient Identifier (UPI)

  3. Patient Management and Billing • Systems that support the management of the patient • Example • Patient identification • Supporting technology • Master patient index

  4. Master Patient Index (MPI) • Centerpiece for all subsequent functionality and software applications • Links to the patient health record • Links to scheduling for appointments, reporting lab, x-ray, pharmacy, patient-related images

  5. Master Patient Index (MPI) AHIMA definition “A patient-identifying directory referencing all patients related to an organization and which also serves as a link to the patient record or information, facilitates patient identification, and assists in maintaining a longitudinal patient record from birth to death”

  6. Purpose of the MPI • Provides the index, location of, and access to a patient’s EHR in an enterprise • Facilitates intraoperability and the accurate creation of a longitudinal record • Ensures accurate and complete linking of EHRs for HIE

  7. Purpose of the MPI • Establishes a streamlined governance process • Accurately matches persons being registered for care with their existing medical records

  8. Core Elements of an MPI • Internal patient identification • Person name • Date of birth • Gender • Race • Ethnicity

  9. Core Elements of a MPI • Address • Telephone number • Alias/previous/maiden names • Social security number • Facility identification • Universal patient identifier (UPI) • Account/visit number

  10. Core Elements of an MPI • Admission/encounter/visit date • Discharge or departure date • Encounter/service type • Encounter/service location • Encounter primary physician • Patient disposition

  11. Unique Patient Identifier (UPI) • Value permanently assigned to an individual for identification purposes • Unique across the entire national health care system • Not shared with any other individual

  12. Functions a UPI Must Support • Identification of an individual • Identification of information • Accurate identification functions • Reduce health care operational cost and enhance the health status of the nation

  13. Current Trends to Establish a UPI • HIPAA • Requires unique identification numbers • UPI has not been adopted • ONC’s Health Information Technology Standards Committee (HITSC) • Patient Matching Power Team • Recommendations

  14. Administrative, Billing, and Financial Systems Summary • Applications that need to be integrated in health care information systems; • Strategies used by health care organizations to ensure integration of functions; • Critical elements needed to integrate billing, financial, and clinical systems; • Core elements of a Master Patient Index (MPI)
