Wipro leverages NextGate’s award winning
MatchMetrix® platform to enable eMPI solution
Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading
global information technology, consulting and business process
services company today announced that it has won a twelve-year
contract from NHS Scotland to build a next generation Enterprise
Master Patient Index (eMPI) solution. NHS Scotland is the region’s
National Health Board working towards reducing health inequalities
and improving health conditions. This solution, which will be
hosted in Scotland, will help NHS Scotland transition from its
current legacy Community Health Index System (CHI) to offer cost
effective, efficient, paperless and patient-friendly healthcare
services in Scotland.
Wipro has partnered with NextGate for this project. Wipro will
leverage NextGate’s award-winning MatchMetrix® platform so as to
enable the eMPI solution to link and manage data from patients,
partner institutions and third party organizations.
In line with NHS’ future requirements, Wipro with NextGate will
build a scalable solution to enable healthcare providers in the
Scottish healthcare boards to maintain unique patient identifiers.
The solution based on NextGate’s MatchMetrix platform, will
integrate with other existing NHS Scotland legacy systems. It has
the ability to compare patient records from disparate applications,
and link together multiple patient records for simplified and
accurate cross-platform validation of patient data. The solution
increases efficiency by reducing time spent on searching for
patient information, freeing up resources to focus on providing
safe treatment.
“We are pleased to be working with Wipro, a leading global
information technology company, and NextGate, the leader in
healthcare identity management, to move our Mainframe Solutions
Transformation Programme (MSTP) initiative forward,” said Andy
Robertson, Director of IT at NHS, National Services Scotland.
He added, “The modernization of our CHI system using their
technology will help us deliver the highest standards of healthcare
to the people of Scotland in a cost effective and efficient
manner.”
Jeffrey Heenan Jalil, Senior Vice-President and Global Head,
Healthcare, Life Sciences & Services, Wipro Limited, said,
“We are delighted to have been selected as a partner by NHS
Scotland and believe that this initiative is a step towards
efficient data management to provide improved quality and
integrated care. Wipro understands that technology is a strategic
enabler, and offers ways to improve patient outcomes, expand
access, and enhance patient experience. We are investing in
building next-generation data management technologies, which will
form the backbone to deliver connected and seamless
healthcare.”
Andy Aroditis, CEO, NextGate said, “NHS Scotland is
taking a visionary approach to the new CHI system. The detailed and
comprehensive selection process showed their passionate interest in
developing a full-featured, efficient, and supportable solution to
drive better information management for the benefit of patient
care. NextGate is privileged to contribute our award-winning
MatchMetrix® platform and industry expertise to the project,
providing the most interoperable and accurate patient identity
management technology to support the delivery of comprehensive
care.”
