InterSystems IRIS for Health™, a comprehensive, cloud-first data platform, along with its predecessors, is the basis for healthcare software that manages over a billion health records globally

Its use is broad and deep across the healthcare industry, and our own healthcare product offerings are based on it. InterSystems IRIS for Health is at the heart of commercial healthcare solutions such as Epic’s EMR and 3M’s Encompass 360. Clinical laboratory companies such as Sonic, Labcorp, and Bioreference have based their internal management systems on our platform. It’s used by startups and established healthcare delivery and medical technology organizations, payers, pharmaceutical companies and others as a foundation for innovation through its connectivity, interoperability, and application development capabilities.

The Core of a Smart Data Fabric

Recently, smart data fabrics have emerged as an IT architectural approach that goes beyond previous designs used to gain access to data silos across an organization. Smart data fabrics combine technology to integrate, transform, and harmonize data from disparate sources on demand, and leverage that data in applications through a wide range of analytics capabilities.

For an increasing number of organizations and developers, InterSystems IRIS for Health forms the core of a smart data fabric that includes analytics and data exploration, business intelligence, natural language processing, complex business rules, and machine learning. Developers, researchers, and organizations across the healthcare continuum are using it to gain new insights from data and power a transformation where patients are at the center of every service provided.

InterSystems IRIS for Health

InterSystems IRIS for Health provides many of the capabilities required to implement real-time, smart data fabric architectures in a single product, eliminating the need to implement, integrate, and maintain dozens of different technologies. Key components of InterSystems IRIS for Health include:

  • A new approach to data and application integration
  • Seamless healthcare interoperability via HL7® FHIR® and other standards
  • Advanced FHIR capabilities
  • Embedded advanced analytics tools
  • Support for application development
