Master Data Management (MDM) is the practice of cleansing, rationalizing and integrating data into an enterprise-wide “system of record” for core business activities (1). It is a discipline used to bring order and control to our data. Master Data is critical business data that is state driven and not event driven. This data is foundation to all business activities. From a healthcare perspective, Master Data can be divided into two categories(2):
- Identity Data - such as patient, provider and location identifiers
- Reference Data - which includes common linkable vocabularies such as ICD-9, DRG, SNOMED, LOINC, RXNorm and Ordersets.
Evolution of MDM
Historically, the concept of MDM started with a focus on Master Patient list which preceded EHRs. The realization that duplicate or missing patient information can impact the quality and safety of patient care being delivered, the function of merging patient records and splitting records appropriately, was embedded in the Medical Records Department department of the organization. A scenario where the same patient may have two medical records in case they came in once with their given name and once with their nickname was merged to be one paper chart by the Medical records personnel. Every healthcare organization managed their Master Patient list. This functionality carried over as a key responsibility of the Health Information Management teams as EHRs were implemented with the concept of a Master Patient Index that included assigning a unique identifier for each patient and was used by other systems and applications to refer to a patient. However, with the increase in number of clinical information systems and changing Healthcare landscape where organizations are using data to gain insights, it is become extremely critical that all master data be managed.
