To facilitate interoperability, Medicity is connecting communities as quickly as possible using an adaptable connectivity infrastructure that meets the needs of any healthcare organization, regardless of its level of technological sophistication. Our infrastructure extends interoperability to whatever solutions the organization has already implemented. No one is excluded in this effort – even physician practices that haven’t implemented EHRs.

Medicity has a wide range of customers, including state and regional HIEs, enterprise-sponsored HIEs, ACO and PCMH infrastructures, and ambulatory physician-to-physician HIEs that have grown up organically in their community. We are fully immersed in optimizing care coordination, doing tangible work in the trenches, learning every day, making our solutions increasingly congruent with clinical practice and care improvement – and ultimately helping everyone derive more and more value from our software and from their existing systems by all meaningful metrics.

In addition to our work in the trenches, Medicity takes an active role in industry workgroups and standards-setting bodies. For example, we have been involved in the NHIN Exchange since 2007 and sit on Direct Project workgroups. In fact, we have deployed technology in Direct Project pilots and in several states. We also participate on IHE committees and have issued IHE Integration Statements. This range of involvement – from the everyday work on the ground to participation with standards bodies – ensures that standards both respond to real-life needs and are, in turn, implemented to facilitate interoperability.
