 Enterprise MPI (E-MPI)

As the assistant health information management (HIM) director of a growing health system network that currently includes 3 hospitals and 16 outpatient clinics, you are a member on the Information Systems Committee. You have been asked to oversee the development of a standardized, system-wide enterprise MPI that will include all patients and their information from all encounters within the system network.

1. Research the recommend core elements of a single-entity MPI and then a multi-facility enterprise MPI.  Indicate the core elements and importance for each element.  Be sure to research using professional journals and list references used (e.g., Journal of AHIMA).
