InterSystems EMPI (formerly HealthShare Patient Index)

This 3-day course teaches the installation, configuration, and use of InterSystems EMPI™ (formerly HealthShare® Patient Index). Starting with version 2025.1, HealthShare Patient Index has been renamed to InterSystems EMPI, but the core functionality remains the same.

Day one focuses on person identification issues, and the tools that can be used for reviewing records identified by the system for human attention.

This session is appropriate for both technical staff and administrative staff who manage person identification issues. Day two starts with installation, and in the course of two days moves through the initial configuration of a system, the process for onboarding additional data sources, data flow, and utility programs.

This course is applicable to users of both InterSystems EMPI (version 2025.1 and later) and HealthShare Patient Index (prior to version 2025.1).
