Just Associates is a consulting firm that focuses exclusively on the processes and technology that form the foundation for proper patient identification and the electronic linking of patient records. We offer a wide range of solutions that help our clients identify and correct their patient data integrity problems.

EMPI Consulting Services

Through our EMPI Consulting Services we dig deep into your systems to understand your patient record linking needs and to identify opportunities to improve your systems' interoperability. We have in-depth knowledge of HIM and Patient Access workflow. We combine this with our knowledge of how data that is contained in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is stored to provide our customers with a never before seen view of their patient data integrity. We help you identify, correct and prevent the causes of compromised patient data integrity.

MPI Cleanup Services

Our MPI Cleanup Services detect, reconcile, and prevent duplicate patient records by using a unique combination of proven data integrity methodologies, unrivaled technology featuring advanced search algorithms, and education on patient access best practices. This integrated approach gives the healthcare professional confidence in their patient data and peace of mind that they are retrieving a patientís entire record. Most importantly, it gives the clinician the information needed to provide quality patient care.

EMPI Maintenance Services

Our EMPI Maintenance Services help you maintain the integrity of your EMPI. It is not enough that you identify and resolve your patient data integrity issues. A diligent approach is needed to maintain the integrity of your EMPI's data over time. If your staff or resources are stretched or you want to access a broader experience base to enhance your efforts, then an outsourced EMPI Maintenance program can help insure that you maintain a high level of patient data integrity.

Whether you are upgrading your current Health Information System, in the midst of optimizing or deploying an EHR, involved in a RHIO / HIE, or looking at linking systems through an EMPI, Just Associates can help you take control of your patient data integrity, record linking issues.
