Data Exchange (MDE) Overview
Our MatchMerge Data Exchange (MDE) uses standards-based formats for exchanging data, including Continuity of Care Document (CCD)-based formats, and HL7 Versions 2 and 3. MatchMerge translates among formats where appropriate.
HL7 Versions 2 and 3 are messaging formats that are meant for use in system-to-system communication. Documents, on the other hand, may transmit structured data system-to-system, but also may be stored in a repository/registry, or displayed in a browser.
