Occam for Government

One record for each citizen across all programs.

Occam offers governments the ability to master person information for populations across agencies and outside sources.

Problem

Solution

Individual agencies maintain siloed information systems, making it hard to know which clients they have in common. They also get bombarded with reports from outside sources that need to be tied to an individual.

Occam’s Bulletproof Matching identifies common individuals across internal and external information systems and assigns an enterprise identifier to tie them together.

How We Help

Foundational Benefits

How It Works

Integrate

Master

Manage

Get data in and out of Occam using the method that works best for you. Connect via API, flat-file, or HL7. Make Occam aware of the patients/members in your source systems, then get an Occam ID and Golden record in return, in real-time or batch.

Person records linked across two or more datasets usually contain conflicting values. Occam’s Master Data Management capability deals with conflicts in two ways: (1) As a Gatekeeper to prevent good data in your transactional systems from being overwritten with stale data (2) To generate a Golden Record representing the best information for a single patient across all the ways you know them.

Occam Research Automation shrinks the number of matches that require manual intervention, but there will always be matches that require human involvement. Occam’s task management workflow lets you prioritize the work that is left and makes identity decisions easier.
