Medi-EHR Interoperability & Data Exchange

Interoperability means health data moves between systems without manual re-entry or one-off custom builds. Medi-EHR is built to exchange patient data with labs, pharmacies, health information exchanges (HIEs), and other EHR systems using standard interface formats, so a practice isn’t locked into one system to get a complete clinical picture.

Key Features

  • HL7-Based Interfaces — Structured data exchange with labs, health information exchanges, and other clinical systems using HL7 messaging standards.
  • FHIR-Based API — A FHIR API alongside HL7 messaging, for systems and integrations built on the newer standard.
  • Electronic Health Information (EHI) Export — Export a single patient’s or an entire population’s record in standardized, computable formats — see the Compliance & EHI Export page for full detail.
  • E-Prescribing — Send prescriptions electronically to pharmacies as part of the same connected workflow.
  • Records Import — Bring records in from a prior EHR or practice management system — see the Electronic Records Archival Service.

Who It’s For

  • Practices that exchange results and referrals with outside labs and specialists
  • Organizations connecting to a regional or state health information exchange
  • Practices migrating from another EHR or practice management system
  • IT and procurement teams evaluating interoperability as part of a purchase decision

How It Works

  1. Connections are configured for the labs, pharmacies, or health information exchanges a practice already works with.
  2. Data moves automatically between Medi-EHR and those connected systems using standard interface formats — no manual re-entry.
  3. Records stay exportable — a patient’s data can be pulled out in standardized formats at any time, not locked into Medi-EHR alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Interoperability is the ability of one health IT system to exchange and use data from another system, without manual re-entry or a one-off custom build for every connection. It covers exchange with labs, pharmacies, health information exchanges, and other EHR or practice management systems.

Medi-EHR is built to exchange data through HL7-based interfaces with labs, health information exchanges, and other clinical systems, so results and records can move without manual re-entry.

Yes. In addition to HL7 messaging, Medi-EHR offers a FHIR-based API for systems and integrations built on the newer standard.

Yes. Medi-EHR supports standardized Electronic Health Information (EHI) export for a single patient or an entire population — see the Compliance & EHI Export page for detail.

Yes. Medi-EHR’s archival service imports records from prior EHR and practice management systems, including eClinicalWorks, Athenahealth, and SimplePractice, among others.
