Introducing MEDfx Corporation
Innovative Company Provides Clinical Workflow and Interoperability Solutions to Help Healthcare Organizations and Agencies Coordinate Care and Securely Exchange Data
Leading the Way with Connected Healthcare Solutions
As healthcare organizations look for more efficient ways to manage population health and coordinate care across multiple specialty groups, locations and agencies, they seek secure, universally available access to patient health information to help them improve outcomes, meet quality standards, and eliminate unnecessary costs. With government quality initiatives providing new incentives and the launch of additional standards to govern a national electronic health information “highway”, vendors are scrambling to bring products to market that meet the emerging demand for health data. MEDfx Corporation has been operating in the connected healthcare market for nearly three decades and offers a wide range of proven solutions that have secured national recognition.
Success By Design
A privately–held company with a long history of partnering with healthcare organizations to leverage new technologies, MEDfx is a pioneer in this sector with a healthcare customer base that is currently exchanging electronic health information for millions of civilian, veteran, and active military patients. The company was originally launched 27 years ago to help federally qualified health centers develop electronic data exchange solutions. As technology advanced, so did the company’s role in facilitating healthcare information exchange on the Nationwide Health Information Network. MEDfx connected private health information organizations with numerous federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense, achieving the vision of universal access to health information for a growing population of healthcare providers and their patients.
MEDfx provided important engineering and architectural contributions to support the government–sponsored Nationwide Health Information Network initiative, which produced CONNECT and the Direct Project, open source software solutions that enable standards–based, meaningful health information exchange at the regional and national levels. The company continuously integrates world–class technology tools and applications into the MEDfx platform, delivering affordable, scalable products such as CONNECTfx, which provides rapid adoption of the Nationwide Health Information Network for secure clinical data exchange with federal agencies, state and regional health information organizations, integrated delivery systems, hospitals, and physician organizations.
Products
“CONNECTfx was the first commercial product in the industry to provide a certified connection to federal agencies,” said Colin Barry, CEO of MEDfx. Other MEDfx solutions include DIRECTfx, a secure light–weight clinical messaging solution for direct provider–to–provider health information exchange, Interchange, a real–time integration and connectivity facilitator, Lifescape Portal, a point–of–care web application for uniformly displaying and searching universally accessible health information, MEDfx Patient Centered Medical Home Information System, an accountable care coordination system, MEDfx EHR–Lite, a point–of–care electronic health record tool and MEDfx PM, a clinical practice automation and revenue–cycle management solution.
First-Mover Success Stories
MEDfx products and services played an integral role in connecting the Veterans Administration and Department of Defense Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER) to private healthcare organizations in Tidewater, Virginia, allowing secure clinical data exchange between multiple government agencies and private health care delivery organizations to improve healthcare coordination for veterans. Due to its unique expertise, MEDfx has also conducted workshops at regional federal agency meetings to expedite the goal of widespread adoption of nationwide health information exchange.
MEDfx continues to lead the way, integrating new technologies and creating affordable, scalable, standards-based solutions.
