Axolotl Corp. Successfully Completes Interoperability Testing at Annual Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Connectathon

SAN JOSE, Calif. Axolotl Corp., the nationwide leader in health information exchange (HIE) solutions and services, today announced that it successfully passed testing at the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) North American Connectathon event in Chicago.
The annual IHE Connectathon promotes the adoption of IHE standards-based interoperability systems in commercially available healthcare IT systems. The Connectathon serves as an industry-wide testing event where participants can test their implementations with those of other vendors.
During the Connectathon, systems exchange information with complementary systems from multiple vendors, performing all of the transactions required for the roles they have selected, called IHE Actors, in support of defined clinical use cases, called IHE Profiles. Axolotl successfully demonstrated interoperability with 20 other healthcare IT vendors. These IHE profiles represent the foundation of Axolotl's interoperability services.
For more than a decade, Axolotl’s advanced interoperability services have enabled physicians, hospitals, payers, labs, imaging centers — entire communities to securely communicate, collaborate and share clinical information, greatly improving the timeliness and safety of patient care. By bringing together information from all of the disparate systems of these diverse stakeholders, Axolotl seamlessly provides unprecedented clinical information exchange for its users.
Axolotl completed Connectathon testing for the following IHE actors in one or more IHE integration profiles.
XDS.b Document Registry (Cross-Enterprise Clinical Documents Share profile);
XDS.b Document Repository (Cross-Enterprise Clinical Documents Share profile);
PIXv3 Patient Identity Cross-reference Manager (Patient Identifier Cross-Reference HL7 V3 profile);
PDQv3 Patient Demographics Supplier (Patient Demographic Query HL7 V3 profile).
“Axolotl is committed to interoperability solutions that are based on industry standards. Our longstanding involvement with IHE and other standards bodies gives Axolotl industry-leading competencies in developing the standards-based solutions that help solve our customers' interoperability challenges,” said Glenn Keet, President of Axolotl. “We are thrilled to once again have completed and demonstrated our best of class solutions at the Connectathon.”
Additionally, Axolotl’s advanced interoperability services will be demonstrated at the Interoperability Showcase at the Annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Conference & Exhibition, March 1–4 in Atlanta.
