MatrixCare Partners with NextGate to Extend Premier Identity Management Solutions to the Skilled Nursing, Senior Living and Long-Term Care Communities

PASADENA, Calif., June 29, 2017 -- NextGate, the leading healthcare technology company for patient and provider identity management, announced today its partnership with MatrixCare^®, the largest Long-Term Post Acute Care (LTPAC) technology provider in the U.S. The partnership allows NextGate’s EMPI technology to provide master patient index and patient identity management functionality within MatrixCare’s CareCommunity care collaboration platform.

Delivering software solutions for the skilled nursing, senior living and long-term care industries, MatrixCare relies on accurate clinical, financial and operations records to provide a holistic view of patient care in its CareCommunity platform. NextGate’s top-rated by KLAS Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) software allows MatrixCare’s clients to consolidate patient and provider records across multiple systems and platforms to advance interoperability and data governance initiatives. This partnership conveniently provides, in a single package for clients, an accurate patient database from the onset of implementation.

MatrixCare is a trusted partner for long-term care providers with more than 12,000 facility-based care settings and 2,000 home care and home health agency locations. Amid such an expansive landscape, the NextGate EMPI will ensure patient record accuracy, reduce duplicate patient records, and log disparate patient IDs from multiple sites of care within a single, e-longitudinal record for customers using CareCommunity.

This partnership brings together two market-leading solutions to connect the long-term care community. Recently rated #1 by KLAS in the Long-Term Care Category, the MatrixCare LTPAC technology allows the broadest operational and clinical impact on healthcare organizations. A partnership with NextGate’s award-winning patient matching software amplifies identity management initiatives while providing clean, accurate data that can be exchanged across an enterprise to support interoperability and continuity of care initiatives.

“Our partnership enables MatrixCare customers to receive first-class data management capabilities as a seamless extension of their long-term or home care solution,” said Andy Aroditis, co-founder and CEO of NextGate. “We appreciate the opportunity to work with the leading vendor in this market to help improve patient safety and the patient experience for these important care communities.”
