Cross-Reference Patient

founda offers a secure and fast patient identifier cross reference manager to help healthcare providers with their cross referencing challenges when to use an example scenario in which the cross reference manager can be useful is when there are different patient identifiers across different systems let's say a patient is registered in the hospital's system with identifier 123 , but in a questionnaire application with identifier abc based on a set of similar patient demographics, the founda health platform will store a mapping from identifier 123 to identifier abc , this way both systems can use their own identifiers for identifying the same patient the interaction consists of two parts first a patient identity feed is created, consisting of patient identifiers that are cross referenced across multiple systems it's also possible to revise, remove or resolve duplicate identifiers once there is a mapping of patient identifiers, it can be used to retrieve the identifier needed by querying the patient identifiers from founda's patient identifier cross reference manager
