When most people think of data integration, they think of formats and standards such as HL7, CCD, EDI, and XML. But what if I cannot meet the standard? For many, it means they cannot participate in data sharing. Most software solutions and integration platforms will only accommodate specific formats. This is where a data integration consultation can make a difference, helping you navigate and overcome these challenges.

Standards are created so that the sharing of information should be easier, and in many cases, it will pave a path for onboarding a good portion of the data. But there is always going to be some percent of trading partners that will not be able to meet the requirements. This does not make their data any less valuable, so how do you create an integration ecosystem that is data format agnostic?

You can choose a platform such as Vorro’s BridgeGate that will allow you to meet your trading partners where they are technologically.

Here are a couple of examples of how Vorro assisted with data acquisition, transformation, and exchange with organizations that could not exchange data using the standard:

  • A large health system needed a way to get skilled nursing and home health data into
    their Health Information Exchange (HIE). The long-term post-acute care (LTPAC) market
    has little technology and/or less sophisticated software systems. The health system
    required continuity of care documents (CCD) but these organizations could not produce
    or send this type of document. Firstly, Vorro created a way for these organizations to
    submit assessment data using the BridgeGate platform. Secondly, it transformed it
    into a CCD and shared it with the HIE.
  • A regional HIE needed ADT data from a small rural hospital, but unfortunately, the
    hospital system was unable to produce an ADT message. Using the BridgeGate Connect solution along with the BridgeGate platform, Vorro was able to provide a solution. The hospital could produce a CSV file, which BridgeGate transformed into the
    appropriate ADT message to share with the HIE.

As you search for your next data integration platform, consider all your trading partners, and do not let old perceptions mislead you. A thorough data integration consultation can help you identify the best solution to meet your needs and ensure seamless data exchange.
