ITPS BPA Call Order 26, Duplicate and Identity Resolution Processing Justification for 3-Month Extension

The Secretary of Defense identified the DMDC Electronic Data Interchange Person Identifier (EDIPI) as the common declarative identifier between the Departments in support of the Integrated Electronic Health Record (iEHR) program. DMDC requires support to provide information technology services to perform a variety of critical data quality tasks to include correction (including the merge and un-merge of records erroneously merged), and de-duplication of data; as well as to maintain and update the probabilistic matching infrastructure that supports identification of duplicates and other identity issues.
