Black Oak Analytics – Offering Entity Resolution Software as a Service to ensure highest possible match quality and achieve results in best of breed time

Carrying out Know Your Customer (KYC) screening is a challenge many organizations face is determining whether data refers to the same entity or multiple, different entities. Entity Resolution (ER) is a technique that allows you to know if real-world entities are linked—or not. Once the entities have been determined as equivalent, a common identifier is added, linking the different records. This enables you to create unique customer profiles and avoid duplication.

Organizations of every size have difficulty reconciling their disparate data for use in downstream and connected systems. Black Oak’s signature software package HiPER enables reconciliation by decluttering and linking enterprise data using all the information available in the system. HiPER links data with the highest possible levels of accuracy, while keeping enterprise data safe, separate, and secure. HiPER enables marketing, risk, and operational systems to talk to each other rather than talk across each other; every record about the same customer, product, or service is matched and connected at the same time. Regardless of the industry, HiPER brings value to all organizations who deal with the vast quantities of data produced in the modern business ecosystem.

HiPER for Healthcare

Accurate and complete electronic health records (HER) are critical to delivering cost efficient state of the art care. Mis-matched or missing patient data can lead to duplicative tests or worse, unfavorable patient outcomes. Numerous studies have shown that organizations with multiple EHR systems have patient match rates that can be under 50% even when using the same EHR vendor across multiple locations. Match rates fall lower when data is being matched between different EHRs. They understand that when it comes to patient data, good enough is not good enough. You need to prevent incorrect patient data from entering your systems at the point of care. You need to know all the interactions your patients’ have had with the healthcare system, not just those that occurred in your network. Whether you are a Department of Health, HIE, ACO, Hospital Group, Payer or Private Practice your care delivery is dependent on clean, timely and accurate data.
