We challenge any individual to reflect upon a situation in their own experience that could have been better had their comprehensive personal healthcare records, or those of a loved one, been more immediately available.  In other words, reasons to care about healthcare interoperability are easy to find.  Click here for some of ours, or to submit one of your own.

More than caring, however, is clearly required.  Health Information Exchanges, or HIEs, are multi-stakeholder projects requiring:

• commitment,
• leadership,
• organization,
• a plan of action,
• resources,
• solutions, and
• returns to stakeholders.

MatchMerge is a suite of standards-based products and services that enable healthcare interoperability. Using MatchMerge, communities can begin to make an individual’s medical information available to him electronically and, with his permission, to any of the providers who care for him.  Software Partners’ offering is targeted at new technical and service approaches which lower cost and create new options for approaching healthcare interoperability projects.

Take a tour through our website to see how this is done.
