Mission Statement ​

To empower seamless healthcare interoperability through an open, community-driven integration engine that is accessible, extensible, and standards-based.

Overview ​

The Open Integration Engine Project is an open-source initiative committed to advancing healthcare interoperability. Building upon the foundation of Mirth Connect, a widely adopted integration engine, this project aims to provide healthcare organizations with a robust, flexible, and cost-effective solution for connecting disparate systems and facilitating efficient data exchange.

Why Open Integration Engine? ​

  • Open Source Advantage Transparency, innovation, and collaborative development within the healthcare IT community.

  • Healthcare-Focused Designed to address the unique challenges of healthcare data integration, supporting standards such as HL7, FHIR, and DICOM.

  • Extensible and Customizable Modular architecture for customization and expansion to meet evolving needs.

Core Features ​

  • Data Transformation and Mapping Convert between HL7, JSON, XML, and other formats to ensure cross-system compatibility.

  • Message Routing and Filtering Route messages using flexible, rules-based logic to streamline workflows.

  • Custom Scripting and Connectors JavaScript-based scripting and support for protocols like HTTP/S, FTP, and database connectivity.

  • Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts Visual tools for tracking message flow, performance metrics, and setting up alerts.

Who It’s For ​

  • Integration Engineers – Looking for a flexible, open platform for managing interfaces
