The London Borough of Brent, one of the British capital’s 32 municipal authorities, uses the Initiate Master Data Service® platform to keep its client index up-to-date, while meeting the strict data protection requirements of the British Government. Brent is an ethnic majority borough of 280,000 people and is the home of the English National Stadium at Wembley. The area has an estimated 30 percent turnover in population, and Initiate helped Brent create a “single point of change” for constituents’ records of benefits, housing, council tax, children services, electoral register and library services.
UPMC is one of the largest and most complex healthcare organizations in the United States, integrating 20 hospitals, more than 400 physician offices and outpatient sites, long-term and senior care facilities, a major health plan, and commercial and international ventures.
Initiate’s enterprise master person index (EMPI) solution is part of the technology that helps UPMC give clinicians a single, comprehensive view of a patient’s electronic health record at the point of care. Through its interoperability initiative, UPMC is enabling the exchange of health information across this vast network.
The North Dakota DHS is using Initiate Citizen™ to implement its new Master Client Index (MCI). When completed, the index will be used by Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, Child Support Enforcement, Developmental Disabilities and the Child Welfare Information Systems.
