ORBIT^® Shared Services solution allows multiple facilities, agencies and providers to exchange information easily and effectively by offering the following functionalities:

eMPI

IGI integrates a master patient search with its eMPI solution to create one correct patient record, avoiding redundant and erroneous information.

Master Patient Search (MPI)

IGI's MPI is a central database repository that contains a unique identifier for each patient in the database, with different search criteria to streamline patient identification:

• Exact Data Match
• Rules Based
• Closeness of Address

Record Locator Service (RLS)

The RLS includes a history of all records for each patient in order to easily support address consent requirements required by privacy restrictions; authorized-user identification and credentialing; authentication methods; role-based access; and other security considerations, including but not limited to access controls, auditing and monitoring access, and transmission security.

Consent Manager

Patient Consent Manager is an online function that tracks and captures patient consent at the following levels:

• Provider's office
• Hospitals
• ORBIT^® PHR system, through secure log-in
• Payer portals (such as Medicaid)

Additionally, fax service is offered so that patients can opt out of the HIE network, if they choose.

Provider Directory

This crosswalk of information includes individual NPIs, DEAs, state licensure information, UPINs, Hospital identification, and payer-assigned provider ID (legacy ID). This system will also manage referral store for affiliated physicians and institutions.
