Federal Guidelines For Standardized Patient Address Data

Project US@ was established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) to create standards for patient address information. The initiative leverages the expertise of the USPS®, the nation’s authority on addresses and related data quality standards. Project US@’s primary goal is to improve patient matching across healthcare’s broad spectrum of clinical and administrative processes, enhancing the performance of patient matching algorithms through improved address quality.
