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. 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.

Master Patient Index and the need for MDM

Mater Patient Index is the concept that is used to manage Patient data. It includes assigning a unique identifier for each patient that can then be used by other systems and applications to refer to a patient. With the implementation of niche systems such as Lab information System or a Radiology Information System and other custom applications as well as with the focus on interoperability and HIEs, matching data to the wrong patient is not only unusable but also dangerous. The risks not only include inadequate care, inefficiency and patient safety but also the healthcare organization's reputation and resources. Also, as organizations are looking to coordinate care whether via an Accountable Care Organization or a Patient Centered Medical Home, analytics can help gain a lot of insights with regard to interventions and strategy. Analytics needs a clean data set to be useful and hence it is extremely critical that master data be managed. (4)

Issues with MDM in Healthcare

One of the biggest issues with master data in Healthcare is Data Quality which include duplication, lack of standardization, incomplete information. This occurs due to multiple producers and consumers of the data both horizontally and
