BridgeLink
BridgeLink is a commercial Healthcare Integration platform designed to facilitate secure and efficient Data Exchange between disparate health information systems. Built as a modern alternative to legacy engines like Mirth Connect, BridgeLink supports healthcare Interoperability through scalable architecture, real-time monitoring, and support for multiple message standards such as HL7, FHIR, X12, and CCD.
Key Features
- Standards Support
BridgeLink supports common healthcare Data Exchange formats and Protocols, including HL7 v2, FHIR, X12, JSON, and XML. This ensures compatibility with most electronic health record (EHR) systems and external interfaces. - Visual Workflow Builder
The platform includes a graphical interface for configuring integration channels and mapping data. This allows technical teams to manage complex workflows with reduced development effort. - Monitoring and Alerts
BridgeLink offers real-time visibility into system performance and message flow. Users can configure alerts and dashboards to monitor errors, latency, and throughput. - Cloud and On-Premises Deployment
Organizations can deploy BridgeLink in a cloud environment, on-premises, or in a hybrid setup, depending on security and compliance needs. - Role-Based Access and Auditing
The platform includes built-in Access Controls and audit logging to help meet HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.
Transition from Mirth Connect
After Mirth Connect transitioned to a commercial license starting with version 4.6, many healthcare organizations began exploring alternatives. BridgeLink has become a leading option due to its open architecture, active support model, and extensibility.
Healthcare Integrations offers consulting and implementation services for organizations transitioning from Mirth Connect to BridgeLink. This includes planning, channel migration, configuration, and validation to ensure continuity and compliance during the changeover.
Use Cases
BridgeLink is used by healthcare organizations for:
- Hospital-to-lab system integrations
- Claims and eligibility exchanges with payers
- Public health reporting
- Patient Data Normalization and routing
- Real-time alerting for clinical events
Summary
BridgeLink serves as a modern Healthcare Integration engine tailored to evolving Interoperability standards. Its flexibility and monitoring capabilities make it suitable for organizations seeking a supported alternative to open-source tools while maintaining full control over their integration workflows.
