DQ Global case study
Wirral Health Informatics Service (WHIS) turned to DQ Global when it wanted a single patient view for cancer patients.
DQ Global provided the core technology the products are built upon, the DQ Toolkit.
The technology allowed WHIS to embed data formatting, standardisation and matching capabilities right into their patient record management application, enabling WHIS to identify duplicate patient records with very high levels of confidence.
The use of the DQ Toolkit was extended to be embedded into the Wirral MPI (WiMPI) and then further extended to one of the most advanced and complete EHR systems in the NHS.
Pete Marsh, WHIS' Technical Director, stated: "Our technical architect was effusive in praise for the DQ products, cost and effectiveness".
The DQ Toolkit allowed WHIS to cleanse and match demographic databases across primary (GPs), secondary (Hospitals) and Tertiary care sectors (Specialist Oncology units) and link all their clinical data.
Thanks to the DQ Toolkit, WHIS now has a duplicate free, single patient view for the electronic cancer register.
