Healthcare Reform and Master Data Management
Lisa Morris, Technical Architect in Perficient’s IBM Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) practice, recently wrote a white paper about changes in how healthcare information is being managed. She points out that institutions and organizations that offer a one-stop point of contact for all medical information stand to gain in competitive advantage, profitability and market share as a result. The white paper is called Healthcare Reform and Master Data Management, and it primarily covers the pain points that MDM addresses for patients, providers and others in the healthcare supply chain. Below is an overview of her analysis. This white paper and all white papers in Perficient’s library are free of cost. You can download the full white paper here.
