Redox Announces Multi-Phase Plan to Enhance Health Care Data Exchange

MADISON, Wisconsin—Redox, a provider of health care data interoperability solutions, announced it has joined CommonWell Health Alliance, a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) enabling the federated exchange of patient information across the United States.

Redox said this move reinforces its commitment to seamless and secure health care data interoperability, empowering health care organizations, including providers, payers, digital health vendors/independent service providers, EHRs and life science companies with broader and deeper access to real time critical health care data.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Redox as a valued member of the CommonWell Health Alliance,” said Paul Wilder, CommonWell’s executive director. “Redox’s commitment to advancing health data exchange and strengthening seamless interoperability will drive better outcomes for patients and providers alike.”

With its easy-to-use, developer-friendly API, Redox offers an alternative to customers who leverage network connections as part of their integration strategy. When organizations across the health care ecosystem partner with Redox, they can quickly onboard to The Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), leveraging expertise from Redox’s 9,600+ health care integrations.

“Our partnership with CommonWell provides an easier path forward for Redox customers who want to participate in TEFCA,” said Trip Hofer, CEO of Redox. “With access to CommonWell’s network, our customers will be able to obtain more comprehensive data than is possible with point-to-point connections.”

In addition to TEFCA access, Redox is also uniquely positioned to offer its customers access to legacy networks and direct integration support to drive powerful end-to-end workflows.

“Redox is a one-stop shop for health care data integrations,” Hofer said. “We support our customers’ overarching integration strategy and enable the broad range of use cases that branch out from that.” 

Workflows often require more than just access to the patient record data, such as integration with the EHR for ordering, inputting results, or scheduling. The key advantage that Redox brings to CommonWell’s QHIN participants is writeback in real time for direct connections.

“TEFCA enables mostly read-only data exchanges, but operational workflows in health care commonly require writing data back into the provider workflow,” said Hofer. “Without this capability, full interoperability will remain out of reach.”

Hofer added that the CommonWell partnership is just the first step in Redox’s multi-phase plan to support customers interested in joining one or more QHINs.

“We support customers who may want to be on a legacy network and a QHIN at the same time,” he said. “In the future, our interoperability platform will allow these customers to easily test, compare and switch between networks and QHINs with minimal risk.”
