From Health Care Integration Engines to Sophisticated Analytics
The Mirth platform consists of a suite of software tools and services enabling interoperability across disparate systems. "From our flagship product, Mirth Connect, a health care integration engine specifically designed for HL7 message integration, to our innovative data repository and clinical patient record viewer, Mirth Results, designed for the collection and aggregation of clinical data, we help our clients achieve the quality and efficiency in clinical care as well as an enhanced experience for the patient," Teichrow said.

For HealtheConnections, a key reason for selecting Mirth is the company's ability to deliver results within a rapid time frame as well as the ability to easily integrate with existing provider systems already in use across health care facilities within the HealtheConnections regional communities.

"Supplying health care providers with access to health care information and tools that dramatically improve their ability to make better health decisions across the spectrum of care is paramount," said Hack. "The transition to Mirth will increase the value proposition for all providers and contribute to efficiencies in care delivery."

Using the Mirth technology platform, patient information can be readily aggregated into a community health record accessible by all participating HIE providers. This can be especially helpful in an emergency room situation or when a provider sees a new patient for the first time. Assuring that information follows a patient wherever and whenever he or she seeks care is a key goal of HealtheConnections' mission.

"Mirth's strength is its flexibility -- it has strong capabilities to send and receive information to and from physician practices especially," Hack notes. "We see this capability as being extremely important in the two-way exchange of patient clinical history supporting coordinated patient care, patient lookup and referrals."
