February 4, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

WARWICK, R.I., Feb. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — MEDfx Corporation
today announced a Direct Project pilot that demonstrates health
information exchange among providers using a combination of the
standards and protocols supported by the Direct Project and the FHA
CONNECT Gateway. MEDfx is participating in, and is a contributor
to, the nationally-sponsored Direct Project under the Office of the
National Coordinator of Health IT.  The MEDfx Direct pilot
will be demonstrated in conjunction with Verizon and MedVirginia at
the annual HIMSS 2011 conference in Orlando, FL from February 21-24
and will be featured in the ONC Direct Project Showcase.

“MEDfx is bridging the gap of nationwide health information
exchange,” said Colin Barry, CEO of MEDfx, “by leveraging the
strengths of the Direct Project while opening the door to
interactions with federal agencies and other Nationwide Health
Information Network participants through CONNECT.”  

This pilot demonstrates the exchange of clinical Information

to facilitate the secure exchange of referrals from providers to
care managers using the MEDfx Patient-Centered Medical Home
Information System with a patient summary record to support the

by Verizon’s health care provider registry and certificate
authority to help ensure message delivery to authorized
recipients.

Michael Matthews, CEO of MedVirginia, stated, “We applaud
MEDfx’s leadership in Project Direct.  This is an important
milestone for the country and for our efforts to enhance
interoperability and quality of patient care.”

According to Dr. Peter Tippett, Vice President, Healthcare
