Hackensack Meridian Health has chosen enterprise cloud data management service Informatica to consolidate its silos of patient data into a centralized repository, which will allow for a comprehensive view of a patient’s care, according to Informatica.

“Our primary goal is to take care of the patient,” Dharam Padhaya, Hackensack Meridian‘s principal engineer/architect, Data Science and Engineering, said in a prepared statement. “And having good patient data is critical to offering the exceptional care we’re known for. We extracted our entire patient data domains from the clarity system in just a few months with Informatica and have discovered and profiled them as well. Informatica enables us to analyze those records to gain insights into what care individuals may need, or a group of individuals’ needs, such as within a specific ZIP code, and expand the services we provide in that area.”

Hackensack Meridian comprises 17 hospitals in New Jersey. Each time it acquires a new health care provider, it inherits a new electronic medical record (EMR) system along with different physician credentialing systems. Informatica’s services will consolidate these systems and data.

“Managing data efficiently across disparate systems and platforms and having a single source of trusted data is always of utmost importance to an organization’s success,” Informatica Chief Product Officer Jitesh Ghai said in the statement. “We are proud to partner with Hackensack Meridian Health to help enhance patient care with our solutions that make it easier for healthcare professionals to quickly access, manage and derive actionable insights to deliver high-quality health care.”
