What Just Associates does

Just Associates, Inc., doing business as Harris Data Integrity Solutions, is a US-based healthcare data integrity company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Niagara Falls, NY. The company operates as a subsidiary of Harris Computer (Constellation Software) following a 2021 consolidation that combined its identity-management assets with the prior QuadraMed EMPI business. It serves hospitals and large health systems, addressing the patient identity problem — duplicate records, overlaid charts, and fragmented MPI/EMPI data — that compromises clinical safety, revenue cycle integrity, and interoperability.
