Interoperability Engine
With powerful integration tools, EMR developers can rapidly enable their products with Direct messaging, IHE query, and HL7® FHIR® for ONC certification, CMS requirements, Promoting Interoperability, and MACRA/MIPS programs.
phiMail® Direct Messaging is designed for the secure exchange of protected health information over the Internet and includes built-in support for Context and Event Notifications via Direct. Our Direct service can be accessed through the standalone phiMail Web product that includes a with 1-click XDM Zip Viewer, or via XDR, SMTP, or the integration-friendly phiMail API (phiMail Integrated).
The phiQuery™ component of Interoperability Engine
enables HL7® FHIR®,
IHE query and OAuth APIs. Deployment options include an integration API to easily enable FHIR,
or OAuth as a Service on its own for those who bring their own FHIR server or want to leverage our UDAP capabilities and App Studio API management platform.
Works with SMART, UDAP, and the Argonaut Data Query Implementation Guide;
USCDI v3 and SMART v2 are supported to fully meet 2026 requirements.
phiQuery is ready for partners to use in ONC certification testing and many EMR Direct customers have already successfully certified. Our integration model allows data to remain on the implementer's system and is returned to authorized requesters in real time on a request by request basis. Interop Engine 2026 was designed to meet g.7, g.9. and g.10 standardized API for patient and population services requirements and includes FHIR R4 services, bulk data access and extensive FHIR implementer and app developer support.
