NextGate, a provider identity management company, announced a partnership with MatrixCare. It will let NextGate’s EMPI technology provide master patient index and patient identity management functionality within MatrixCare’s CareCommunity care collaboration platform.

The agreement will let NextGate’s patient matching software amplify identity management initiatives, the company said, and give providers “clean, accurate data that can be exchanged across an enterprise to support interoperability and continuity of care initiatives.”

“Our partnership enables MatrixCare customers to receive first-class data management capabilities as a seamless extension of their long-term or home care solution,” said Andy Aroditis, co-founder and CEO of NextGate. “We appreciate the opportunity to work with the leading vendor in this market to help improve patient safety and the patient experience for these important care communities.”
