Overview

Patient records are fragmented across EHRs, claims, labs, and other systems, each using different IDs and inconsistent demographics. EMPI Lite resolves those fragments into a single person-level identity you can trust for analytics, quality programs, and operational workflows.

The package is warehouse-native and fully transparent. You keep your data in your environment, retain full control of the matching logic, and avoid the cost and delay of standing up a separate EMPI platform.

What You Get

  • One-click deployment as a dbt package that runs directly in your warehouse
  • Probabilistic matching with configurable scoring, blocking, and threshold tuning
  • Persistent EMPI IDs, crosswalk outputs, and golden record demographics
  • Built-in manual review queues for match and split decisions
  • Full audit trail of identity events for transparency and governance
  • Native Tuva integration so downstream marts inherit resolved patient identity automatically

Who This Is For

  • Health systems and payers unifying patient records across EHR, claims, and lab data
  • Analytics and data engineering teams that need trustworthy patient-level reporting fast
  • Organizations replacing slow, black-box EMPI implementations with warehouse-native workflows
  • Teams that want transparent SQL logic they can tune, test, and own
