Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) organizes Connectathons on a regular basis for vendors of healthcare IT to come together to test their products to ensure they are interoperable according to the defined integration profiles.  Back in April, NextGate successfully used MatchMetrix to demonstrate Patient Identifier Cross Reference (PIX) and Patient Demographic Query (PDQ) standard interoperability across all IHE use cases.

This means that healthcare organizations using MatchMetrix can be confident that they can invoke PIX/PDQ as a means to cross-reference patient identifiers between hospitals, care sites, Health Information Exchanges (HIE), and more, as well as query a central patient information server and retrieve a patient’s demographic and visit information.

Once interoperability is demonstrated, an IHE Integration Statement may be published which is available on our IHE Compliance page or directly here.  Additionally, the IHE has created the IHE Product Registry as a way for users to search for products supporting IHE Profiles with published IHE Integration Statements.

We are pleased to announce that MatchMetrix is now in the IHE Product Registry.  There are several ways you can find us there, the easiest being to search on company NextGate, but you can also search on the ATNA, CT, PIX, or PDQ profiles within the IT-infrastructure domain and we show up there too.  Go take a look!
