MPI

Master Patient Index

Updated

An MPI is the index that assigns one enterprise identifier to a person and links all the local identifiers that different systems have given them.

It is queried with IHE PIX/PDQ or their FHIR versions, and its quality depends on the patient-matching algorithm behind it.
