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 the core 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):

1. Identity Data - such as patient, provider and location identifiers 2. Reference Data - which includes common linkable vocabularies such as ICD-9, DRG, SNOMED, LOINC, RXNorm and Ordersets.

In previous years, healthcare organizations have been focusing on a Master Patient Index (MPI) which was the beginning of MDM. Duplicate and unclean patient information could impact the quality and safety of patient care being delivered.
