Background

A large Health System in New York has grown rapidly through acquisitions and joint ventures, bringing new EHRs, CRMs, and data systems into an increasingly complex ecosystem. With every addition, delivering an exceptional experience across the network became more challenging.

To achieve its vision – a single, on-brand experience for every patient, no matter where they receive care – the Health System knew it needed to go beyond acquiring and consolidating systems. It needed to unite identities at every touchpoint along the care journey. Verato unified, enriched, and managed identities across all their systems of record (including Epic and their labs joint venture), systems of experience (Salesforce) and systems of insight (Google Cloud®). With unified identity data, the Health System powered its Customer 360 initiative to enable personalized care, reduce administrative friction, drive intelligent growth across clinical and digital channels, and deliver an improved overall customer experience.

Challenge

Achieving Customer 360 across fragmented systems

The Health System’s network spans millions of patients and dozens of care sites. Following several major acquisitions and joint ventures, they faced significant data fragmentation – duplicate records, inconsistent identifiers, and disjointed patient experiences.

Initially, it turned to Verato to address a backlog of potential duplicate records within Health Information Management (HIM). The results were transformative: Verato Auto-Steward® automatically resolved 87% of duplicates, reducing manual review and improving data accuracy.

But as it began consolidating to a single Epic® instance, it became clear that identity resolution wasn’t just a back-office issue; it was foundational to achieving a true Customer 360 experience. They needed a solution that could span Epic®, Salesforce®, Google Cloud®, and other systems to connect every identity, across every interaction across the care journey.

Solution

Building a single source of truth

Verato became the connective tissue of the Health System’s digital ecosystem by unifying, enriching and managing identities across Epic®, Salesforce®, Google Cloud®, and other systems. By using Referential Matching® technology, Verato for Salesforce, and other capabilities of the Verato MDM Cloud™ platform, the Health System is able to accurately link and maintain over 55 million patient identities, ensuring every new record from an acquired or joint venture facility or digital touchpoint ties back to a single, trusted person. This approach supports their vision for creating exceptional, on brand experiences at every touchpoint and future-proofs their enterprise data strategy, enabling continuous growth and innovation.

We found that Verato had a stronger influence using its referential data matching over products we’d used in the past. As we continue to onboard new entities into Epic, there’s a path for how we’re going to strategically leverage the insights that Verato’s referential matching has been able to provide to us.”
