Abstract: An apparatus is provided for retrieving information associated with one or more patients. The apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor configured to receive queries from devices of health care systems. The queries include data requesting information associated with patients that corresponds to specified items of information indicated in the queries. The processor is further configured to analyze stored patient information to determine items of the patient information that correspond to the specified items of the information. The processor is further configured to detect a subset of the items of the patient information related to health data that is determined to correspond to a respective patient(s) based on a determined value that equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.

Abstract: A method for providing distributed registration management may include receiving, from a first health system entity, an indication of a healthcare registration event intended to register a patient for an event at a second health system entity in which the patient has a first patient identifier associated with the first health system entity, providing a second patient identifier associated with the second health system entity that correlates to the first patient identifier, and coordinating, via processing circuitry, registration of the second patient identifier for the registration event with the second health system entity. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also provided.
