Client and Provider Registries
Client and Provider Registries
xwave has broad experience with electronic client and provider registries including: Client Registries, Provider Registries, and Service Delivery Location Registries where:

Client Registry A single directory—a ‘White Pages’ of sorts—in each province or territory that contains:
- current patient health-identification numbers
- demographic information such as name, address, and health- insurance card number
- historic demographic information such as a patient's maiden name or former addresses
Provider Registry A single directory per jurisdiction-a ‘Yellow Pages’—that provides comprehensive identification of participating providers including:
- doctors
- dentists
- pharmacists
- nurses
- other healthcare professionals
Service Delivery Location Registry A single directory per jurisdiction providing a comprehensive listing of all locations where patients can receive care including:
- hospitals
- clinics
- physician offices
