MiHIN handles an enormous amount – almost six billion! – inbound and outbound ADT messages each year. Only a handful of other HIEs nationally can say the same.
Because MiHIN executes more than just a one-to-one ADT notification by standardizing, normalizing, measuring conformance and pushing the data to many members of a patients care team, instead of just a PCP, they have hit the limits of their current processing platform.
As with all good things – there are opportunities for improvement. Throughout 2023, some organizations have experienced delays at times, and MiHIN has worked to identify and quickly resolve challenges that affected the routing and normalization of outbound ADTS to receiving organizations. To decrease these kinds of issues and improve servicing and continuity, MiHIN will be migrating to a new FHIR-based integrated technology platform.
The new platform is designed to run a true integration engine that employs cloud technologies, making it more durable, reliable, and performant. Instead of relying on a single off-the-shelf engine, they will be able to run as many servers as necessary to process like a hive, allowing MiHIN to scale operations.
In the coming weeks and months, the MiHIN team will work directly with participants on their migrations needs, goals and plans. Visit their site to learn more about MiHIN’s Integrated Technology platform.
