Iridium Suite’s cloud-based practice management system contains a proprietary Connectivity Clearinghouse which allows Iridium Suite to seamlessly integrate with third party systems, such as Electronic Medical Records Systems (EMRs).
The Connectivity Clearinghouse can be thought of as a bridge that connects distinct systems, allowing data to flow between them without requiring data file format compatibility between the systems. The Connectivity Clearinghouse receives output from the system which is transmitting the data and translates that output into a format that can be understood by the receiving system.
With the proliferation of EMRs in the healthcare arena, it is vital that medical billing systems are able to import and/or export patient demographic and charge data between the EMR and the practice’s medical billing software. Having the ability to exchange data between the two systems reduces the need to re-key data from one system to the other. In addition, provided that care is taken to ensure precision, exchanging data between EMRs and medical billing systems can result in improved data accuracy in both systems.
Iridium Suite’s Connectivity Clearinghouse also enables system users to access very detailed import history which is extremely beneficial during the billing cycle. The Import History Tool allows users to:
Search for specific HL7 messages that have been transmitted by the EMR
Track messages that have been received into Iridium Suite and examine their processing state
Re-queue messages so you can re-import them if necessary
View messages that could not be imported because of errors
Examine individual messages in their raw format and in a human-readable version

Through the Connectivity Clearinghouse, Iridium Suite is able to interface with all Electronic Medical Records Systems that use the standard HL7 format. Having the ability to connect your practice management system with your EMR is a valuable tool and sets Iridium Suite apart from its competitors.
