Medicity’s iNexx is the first open, modular, Health 4.0 platform for healthcare IT app design and delivery.

Third-party partners who develop to iNexx’s open and secure platform leverage the largest ecosystem of connected healthcare providers in the United States – spanning approximately 700 hospitals, 25,000 physician practices and more than 250,000 providers.

Once an application is iNexx compatible, it becomes a “plug and play” option for any physician practice that is part of Medicity’s ecosystem. Once downloaded by end users, the apps automatically interoperate and work together as a composite solution. This eliminates the need for the vendor to interface with physician office applications – a significant adoption barrier faced by many specialty application vendors.

Medicity is currently working with a number of partners that are adapting their applications to run within the platform and participating in the iNexx project.

Announced Partners

Emdeon

Emdeon, Inc. (NYSE: EM), is the nation’s largest financial HIE solution provider. Emdeon electronically links hospitals, pharmacies, and physicians with private and government insurers, processing patient eligibility and benefit verification, payment management, and patient billing and collection. In 2008, it processed nearly half of all payment claims delivered electronically in the U.S.

Medicity and Emdeon are partnering to connect their networks to create the first “converged” national HIE, merging financial, administrative, and clinical information into a single coherent view.

The combination of services from Emdeon and Medicity enables physicians to efficiently and cost effectively meet meaningful use requirements to receive federal stimulus funds for HIE under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The convergence of the Emdeon services on Medicity’s iNexx Health 4.0 platform gives providers the ability to access and use clinical, financial and administrative services across the largest network of payers, pharmacies, hospitals, and physicians in the country. With a combined reach spanning 88% of all physician practices, achieving meaningful use may be a simple and affordable extension of a current technology already used in the physician’s office today.
