Standards-Based Interoperability for Healthcare

Overview

MEDecision leverages standards such as DICOM, HL7, SOAP, ebXML and numerous others to successfully integrate enterprises and their legacy systems, enabling our customers to retrieve and use data free of platform restrictions.

Our InFrame platform enables even those devices using legacy or proprietary data interfaces to connect to a healthcare information exchange (HIE). This empowers them to communicate using robust standards vetted by Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) - the leading international initiative for advancing plug-and-play interoperability between healthcare information systems and organizations.

MEDecision is an active member of IHE, implementing technology solutions that realize next-generation healthcare networks. Our systems have been exhaustively tested against those of other healthcare IT vendors in numerous configurations and clinical simulation environments through millions of transactions. This enables us to ensure that an organization's vital healthcare data is communicated securely, responsively and completely.

Certifications and Standards

In addition to its Web services framework and service oriented architecture, InFrame provides the widest possible range of IHE-compliant components for building standards-based HIEs that adhere to federal and regional requirements.

InFrame has passed all tests at IHE Connectathon events for the following integration profiles:
