Feature Fridays: There’s a New CPR in Town that’s Changing how Care is Delivered

Introducing Feature Fridays: our new summer series that gives a peek under the hood at the tech powering Zus, the platform that is redefining the patient record.

First up: the Common Patient Record (CPR). Because when care teams all look at the same patient health history, we all get better outcomes.

What this feature does:

At Zus, we’ve built the Common Patient Record—a single, always-on view of a patient’s health history—powered by our proprietary Universal Patient Identifier (UPID). Unlike traditional data platforms that just aggregate and dump data, CPR organizes and reconciles it across sources so that every care team member is looking at one clean, cohesive, and compliant record.

Here’s what makes it different:

Identity is automatically matched and reconciled across systems using a built-in enterprise master patient index (eMPI), which basically means we’re great at knowing when “Sam Smith” in one system is the same “Samuel J. Smith” in another. No more duplicate records. No more guesswork.
All care teams see the same version of the truth, regardless of which EHR, CRM or system they’re using.
Advanced permissions architecture ensures that sensitive information—like HIV status or substance use history—is only shared when appropriate.
Direct updates from other Zus collaborators. No waiting for a query to process or an interface to be built.

Why you should care:

If you’re in value-based care (VBC), part of a clinically integrated network (CIN), or frankly any care model that is team-based, this is the infrastructure shift you’ve been waiting for.

Right now, far too many teams are still faxing PDFs back and forth, logging into five different portals, or playing phone tag just to understand one patient’s history. Zus replaces all that with a single, digital, patient-centered record that updates in real-time and makes sense across settings.

Whether it’s a pediatrician, a cardiologist, or an in-home nurse seeing the same patient, Zus makes it possible to see the same record, with just the right amount of information, in the system they already use.

For CINs, this means you can finally work across independent organizations without wrestling with clunky data integrations or legal gymnastics.

For VBC organizations, it means faster interventions, smarter outreach, and better outcomes—without wasting time on redundant work.

One patient. One record. One truth.

Shared context, smarter decisions, earlier interventions.

Welcome to the future of collaborative care. Welcome to Zus.
