Technology outsourcing company Wipro has bagged a 12-year contract from NHS Scotland to build an Enterprise Master Patient Index (eMPI) solution.
Jeffrey Heenan Jalil, global head, Healthcare, Life Sciences & Services, Wipro and Andy Aroditis, CEO of NextGate, were instrumental in signing the deal.
This solution, which will be hosted in Scotland, will help NHS Scotland to transition from its current legacy Community Health Index System (CHI) to offer cost effective, efficient, paperless and patient-friendly healthcare services in Scotland.
The Bangalore, India-headquartered Wipro will leverage NextGate’s MatchMetrix platform to enable the eMPI solution to link and manage data from patients, partner institutions and third party organizations.
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.
“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.
