UPDATE: For those who missed the live discussion, you can watch the recording of our patient identification and patient matching interview in the YouTube video below:
Given the recent announcement by CHIME about the $1 Million Patient Matching and Identification competition, I thought it would be the perfect time to explore the challenges of patient identification and matching in healthcare. On Monday January 25, 2016 at 10:30 AM ET (7:30 AM PT), I’ll be sitting down with 2 great experts on patient identification and matching:
- Beth Just, MBA, RHIA, FAHIMA, CEO and President of Just Associates
- Michael Trader, President of RightPatient
- John Lynn, Founder of Healthcare Scene
The great part is that you can join our conversation live and even add your own comments to the discussion. All you need to do to watch live is visit this blog post on Monday January 25, 2016 at 10:30 AM ET (7:30 AM PT) and watch the video embed at the bottom of the post. You can also subscribe to the blab directly. We’ll be doing a more formal interview for the first 30 minutes and then open up the Blab to others who want to add to the conversation or ask us questions. The conversation will be recorded as well and available on this post after the interview.
I’m excited to talk with Beth and Michael about the impact of poor patient matching on healthcare, the current solutions to the problem, and their thoughts and views on CHIME’s $1 million National Patient ID Challenge. We hope you’ll join us on Monday and share your expertise and questions!
