The PIXPDQMasterIndex project defines the enterprise-wide master patient index that provides a cross-reference of each domain's local IDs and also maintains a centralized repository of each patient's demographic information. This project contains all of the master index processing logic for data standardization, matching, queries, updates, assumed matches, potential duplicate flagging, and single best record (SBR) survivorship. It also defines the data structure for the master patient index. This project is deployed to the application server.
This project, or files from this project, are referenced from several of the projects included with the PIX/PDQ Manager. You should rebuild and redeploy the required projects if you modify the PIXPDQMasterIndex project in such a way that it needs to be rebuilt and redeployed. The PIX/PDQ Manager provides build scripts that automate the process of rebuilding and redeploying all projects.
