2017 hl7 interface engine rating results

As a national vendor-neutral IT solutions provider, a lot of people ask us questions. We’re often asked to compare characteristics of several interface engines. In an effort to provide the unique perspective of how HL7 professionals rate the interface engine(s) they currently use, we created a short questionnaire covering nine main areas likely to be of interest.

Over 200 healthcare IT professionals participated in this survey, many providing very specific input on the nine areas covered. These results present the reviews on the five interface engines that garnered the most responses. We provided the numerical rating for each area, followed by a sampling of comments that are consistent with the broader collective input.

Thank you to all of you who took the time to participate! We truly appreciate your perspective on this key area of our healthcare industry.
