SemantX's goal is the adoption and utilization of the MDMI standard to efficiently translate your medical records to a multitude of data and message formats
MDMI -- Supporting interoperability in healthcare
The problem of exchanging healthcare information between unaffiliated organizations remains a major issue in the healthcare system today. A few of the largest and most sophisticated healthcare organizations have already created limited solutions for this problem. But these solutions required talented (and hard to find) technical experts, and absorbed significant financial resources. The vast majority of healthcare providers do not have either the technical or the financial resources necessary to implement solutions using existing technologies. Eventually, when a majority of healthcare providers achieve the ability to exchange clinical data, the savings will be measured not only in people’s lives but in billions of dollars. Achieving easy and cost-effective exchange of medical records will stimulate the creation of new software platforms that will support innovation and better practices by the healthcare community.
The key impediment to the easy exchange of medical records and other healthcare data is the existing legacy of different formats, syntax, and semantics within the electronic systems that hold those records. The SemantX Open-source implementation of the OMG’s MDMI standard removes that impediment.

The OMG MDMI Standard:
Object Management Group’s Model Driven Message Interoperability (MDMI) standard was created to break the log jam of data interoperability by defining an efficient, declarative approach to the translation of disparate data and message formats.
The OMG is a prestigious software industry standards body. As an OMG standard, the MDMI standard is published on the OMG web site and freely available for any organization to use and develop implementations. The MDMI standard was initially developed over a five year period by leading message and information exchange experts from both the vendor community and end-user community. When it was completed, the MDMI standard went through the rigorous OMG approval process.
The MDMI standard uses the OMG’s Model Driven Architecture to these delivers the key benefits:

- A fluid and agile architecture delivering a software model that can handle the inevitable changes from dynamic business and technology needs.
- A declarative solution approach versus a procedural approach.
- A meta-model that can be implemented by any organization on any platform
- Must be able to incorporate and absorb existing industry standards for information exchange that exist within every industry.
- Must enable existing production systems to use the standard without change to their internal formats.
- Must protect each organization from external changes.
