IntegriChain, delivering pharma's only comprehensive technology, data, consulting, and outsourcing platform for data-driven commercialization, and Verato, the identity experts for healthcare, today announced a technology partnership. IntegriChain will utilize Verato's healthcare master data management (hMDM) solution to create a new ICyte Secure PHI Vault for securing protected health information (PHI) and personal identifiable information (PII). The vault receives and stores identifiable patient information – ingested from a variety of sources including specialty pharmacies, hubs, and claims data – and utilizes best-in-class data science and patient matching technology from Verato to securely and accurately match patients across disparate data sets. The vault also seamlessly integrates tokenized PHI and PII into ICyte Patient Data Solutions for accurate insights on the patient journey.
"Incomplete and inconsistent patient information leads to misalignment between specialty pharmacy, hub, and copay data sets, challenging pharmaceutical companies' ability to see true patient journey trends and insights," said Jay Kinzer, IntegriChain Executive Director of Data Solutions. "We are thrilled to partner with Verato to deliver this market-leading patient matching approach in the ICyte Platform that offers the very best in security and technology, ensures that private patient data remains private, and delivers meaningful data-driven insights for pharmaceutical companies to improve the patient journey."
"Identity matching is a critical, foundational component for enabling delivery of high-quality care and lowering costs across the healthcare continuum," said Joaquim Neto, Chief Strategy Officer of Verato. "Verato is proud to support IntegriChain's pharma customers by leveraging our best-in-class healthcare master data management (hMDM) solution, which brings highly accurate and secure record matching in support of data-driven decision making."
