Intelligent Interoperability
Share in the power of data.
The era of static document sharing is over.
Today, MEDITECH is empowering clinicians to search vast amounts of data inside and outside the EHR quickly to support better decision making. We’re putting patients in charge of their healthcare by allowing them to determine when and where their data is shared. And we’re helping healthcare organizations of every size and setting remain strong and independent by leveling the data playing field through advanced interoperability.
Welcome to a new era of data liquidity in healthcare.

Meet Gary
See some of the many ways patients benefit from intelligent interoperability.
Gary visits his PCP
Gary Jones is a 64-year-old patient visiting his doctor for his annual wellness visit. Dr. Lu uses ambient listening in Expanse to automatically draft his progress note. Gary is impressed with how attentive Dr. Lu is during the visit. Instead of interacting with his computer, Dr. Lu is focused on him.
Interoperability in Action:
Ambient AI technology utilizes the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard.
Dr. Lu views Gary’s external data
During the visit, Dr. Lu notices in Expanse that Gary has data available from other healthcare organizations. He launches Traverse Exchange and sees that Gary’s blood pressure readings during recent visits to an outside specialist are quite elevated. Gary is relieved Dr. Lu could access this external data and notice this trend.
Interoperability in Action:
MEDITECH’s Traverse Exchange connects the Expanse EHR to any TEFCA-enabled EHR.
Gary downloads a patient app
After the visit, Gary is able to see all of the information from his recent visit as well as past visits across various health systems in his TEFCA-enabled health app of choice. This allows him to easily share complete, consolidated health histories with any new doctors or caregivers he sees.
Interoperability in Action:
Individual Access Services (IAS) allows patients to securely access, manage, and share their health data from multiple providers.
“Traverse Exchange fills in the gaps when patients don’t know or can’t recall all of their medical history. It really helps when I can access information about care they’ve received elsewhere. It’s also helpful for reducing duplicative tests because I can see what has already been done with other providers.”

Proudly Supporting the CMS Interoperability Framework
MEDITECH has been a champion of interoperability for decades. We were the first vendor to successfully support the CCD — and now we’re leading the charge to move beyond it. We have proudly committed to the pledge to implement CMS Interoperability Framework and support our customers’ participation in CMS Aligned Networks.
Traverse Exchange in North America
Traverse Exchange connects dozens of hospitals using MEDITECH Expanse in Canada with hundreds of long-term care sites using multiple EHRs — providing clinicians with a more holistic view of their patients' care directly within the MEDITECH EHR. In the U.S., Traverse Exchange connects over 700 facilities across 41 states using MEDITECH to other networks, with many more scheduled to join throughout 2026.
"As an organization, we are committed to advancing interoperability as a means of improving healthcare delivery and outcomes. Traverse Exchange in Canada has enabled more Ontario organizations than ever to conveniently exchange key patient health data."
Peter Bak
Chief Information Officer
"With MEDITECH's Traverse Exchange, Ferry County Health patients receive faster, more coordinated care through seamless information sharing across healthcare providers. This collaboration allows us to improve treatment accuracy, reduce duplicate testing, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes. By connecting with a broader network of specialists and resources, we are ensuring that every patient receives the quality of care they deserve, right here in our community."
James Davidson
Information Technology Director and Chief Information Security Officer
"As a family medicine clinician, it's important for me to know where else my patients have been, so being able to view past hospitalizations and ED visits through the consolidated patient summary in Traverse Exchange is helpful. Equally valuable is the ability to quickly review medications, allergies, recent lab and imaging results, and — for pediatric patients in particular — immunizations. As additional organizations begin to universally share data, this tool will become even more valuable.”
Andrea Douglas, PA-C
Family Medicine
“I could see the excitement on everybody's face. They can have all that data that previously you'd have in hundreds and hundreds of documents you’d have to read through… From a technical lift there wasn't much for us to do. MEDITECH really helped us set it up. We didn't have to add any extra FTEs.”
Tito Perez
Corporate Director, Enterprise Applications
“I think getting that initial snapshot all in one view of those different categories of the documents — any type of medications, any type of procedures — all listed in one easy to read format. That's been very beneficial for our specialists.”
Kristin Conley, DO

An Open Ecosystem for Innovation
MEDITECH actively participates with leading organizations and initiatives advancing interoperability, ensuring that our customers are always ahead of the curve.
The Argonaut Project is a private sector initiative to advance industry adoption of modern, open interoperability standards. Launched in 2014, it has rapidly developed the FHIR-based API and Core Data Services specification to enable expanded information sharing for EHRs.
The FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST) identifies Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) scalability gaps, defines solutions to address current barriers, and identifies needed infrastructure for scalable FHIR solutions. Launched as an ONC-convened initiative, FAST has transitioned to an HL7 FHIR Accelerator focused on the infrastructure needed to scale FHIR.
The Gravity Project is a national public collaborative that develops consensus-based data standards to improve how information is shared and used on social determinants of health (SDOH). Founded in 2017, its members advance equitable health and social care by leading the development and validation of consensus-driven interoperability standards.
360X strives to define implementation guidance to enable EHR interoperability in support of patient transitions of care, particularly around referral management and closing the referral loop, with an aim to add value to patients, clinicians, office staff and overall clinical workflows.
The Da Vinci Project is a private sector initiative that includes payers, providers, and EHR vendors collaborating with HL7 to improve data sharing in value-based care (VBC) arrangements using the HL7 FHIR platform.
Helios is an alliance of government, private sector and philanthropic partners who aim to use widely accepted healthcare standards to help advance public health. It was launched by HL7 and jointly supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC).
DirectTrust is a non-profit alliance of Health Information Service Providers (HISPs), Certificate Authorities (CAs), Registration Authorities (RAs), healthcare providers, consumers/patients, and Health IT vendors working to develop, promote, and enforce rules and best practices for maintaining security and trust within the Direct Secure Messaging community.
