DTI Health Completes the IHE Connectathon on its First Attempt

Healthcare IT innovator qualifies for Interoperability Showcase at HIMSS12

Springville, Utah (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

DTI Health, a provider of innovative healthcare IT solutions connecting patients, clinicians, and health systems with healthcare communities, announces it has passed 54 interoperability tests performed at this year's Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) North American Connectathon, marking the company's first-ever participation in the healthcare IT industry's largest standards-based interoperability testing event worldwide.

Connectathon is recognized around the globe as the premier event for proving compatibility and interoperability between clinical solutions. IHE is a program led by healthcare and IT professionals to improve the way healthcare computer systems distribute and integrate information.

DTI Health passed IHE Connectathon's tests across many domains, profiles, and actors with a top “thorough” rating providing detailed confirmation of DTI Health's interoperability and compliance with IHE profiles. It also served as a qualifier to participate in next week's HIMSS12 (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) Interoperability Showcase in Las Vegas, NV.

“We have aggressively integrated interoperability capabilities into the DTI Health portal solution,” said Erik Brandt, executive director of DTI Health. “Connectathon gave us the perfect forum to prove that our software is interoperable with other solutions. Passing the Connectathon challenge on our first try proves that our foundation is solid. IHE has done a fantastic job encouraging the exchange of data and information among different vendors and multiple systems co-habituating in a best-of-breed environment.”

IHE began hosting Connectathons in 1999 to help formalize interoperability testing between vendor solutions, and to drive the adoption of standards in health information exchange. IHE has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on the healthcare industry worldwide.
