By Bill Siwicki HealthcareITNews, October 01, 2018, 08:00 AM Real-time, actionable health information exchange requires an accurate, reliable approach to matching patients with their electronic health records across different organizations and information systems.

Improving healthcare and reducing costs is on everyone’s minds these days. But how?

Care coordination — the kind facilitated by our...
