ATLANTA, April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions has
partnered with one of the largest nationwide retail pharmacy chains
to provide the LexID® unique patient identifier across pharmacy
operations to centralize records, reduce costs, and make quality
healthcare easier to obtain for the pharmacy customers. The company
also selected the LexisNexis® Keep Contact™ solution to maintain
accuracy of demographic information for enhanced outreach and
engagement in its wellness market.
"We're excited to help our client seamlessly manage customer
identities to provide more efficient and consistent care delivery,
further supporting the ability to ensure the right patient receives
the right prescription at the right time, while promoting the
adoption of a unique patient identifier (UPI)," said Craig Ford, Vice President of Pharmacy Markets
for LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "Assigning a LexID to an estimated
200 million records nationwide is a huge step for our partner and
for the industry," added Ford.
Using a sophisticated, automated linking technology, LexID with
Customer Record Key analyzes and connects records common to a
single individual. It then assigns a set of unique identifiers to
every patient record nationally to help healthcare organizations
match and de-duplicate their records, thus creating one source of
truth on each individual patient. While the LexID identifier is the
same across organizations to promote interoperability, the Customer
Record Key identifier – available on 100% of patient records – is
specific to a customer and adds extra privacy, especially important
for data on minors. This capability allows healthcare systems to
overcome the challenge of lacking data standardization amid an
abundance of patient information. The LexisNexis Keep Contact
solution further boosts patient engagement efforts by enhancing
patient demographic and contact information through an
industry-leading, identity referential database.
The pharmacy-specific identity products are valuable additions
to the vast range of compliance-based services that LexisNexis Risk
Solutions – an industry-leading prescriber data provider – already
delivers to most pharmacy chains and pharmacy benefit managers
today. The LexisNexis identity solutions help pharmacies keep
patient data clean, updated, and available for easy integrations
for a streamlined and accurate identification at the point of
care.
