Redox, a pioneer in healthcare interoperability, and Google Cloud announced a collaboration to streamline the transmission of healthcare data so that businesses can decide more quickly and effectively. Organizations may create longitudinal views to better serve their patients and members by quickly onboarding health data from legacy systems into Google Cloud products like Healthcare Data Engine and Healthcare API. Redox will replicate its platform on Google Cloud as part of the relationship, giving Google Cloud users access to the full range of Redox's top-notch goods, services, and experiences.

The data that healthcare managers and leaders need is frequently compartmentalised across several IT systems and businesses. Moreover, it is challenging to obtain and frequently takes years to exact and standardise. Information can be dispersed over multiple databases or hidden away in the patient record. Interoperability, or the betterment of data flow and unification across health care systems, is essential to enhancing business operations, patient care, and people's capacity to lead healthier lives. In the United States, there is an expanding corpus of regulatory regulations that emphasise patient data interoperability as a top goal for providers and health insurance.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Interoperability and Patient Access Rule mandates that health plans participating in federal exchanges share claims data with patients electronically, and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Cures Act Final Rule mandates that patients have secure access to their electronic health information to use and share.

"Healthcare organizations are transforming using new applications and analytics tools driven by cloud technology. Redox was designed to support these new tools with enterprise-scale data exchange with hospitals, clinics, health plans, Healthcare Information Exchanges, networks and other sources that provide the foundation of healthcare data," said Redox CEO Luke Bonney. "Together, Redox and Google Cloud enable providers and health plans to maximize the use of their legacy system data in a single cloud database up to 80% faster than other solutions."

With Redox Healthcare Integration, now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, health plans, providers, life science, medical device companies, and digital health organizations can incorporate standards like HL7v2, C-CDA, X12, DICOM, and more into FHIR, leveraging existing provider integrations and libraries. This makes it faster and easier for organizations to use Google Cloud's Healthcare API and Healthcare Data Engine, enabling an interoperable, longitudinal record of patient data.

"When we first collaborated with Redox and saw how fast we could help a healthcare organization further accelerate data interoperability, we had an 'aha' moment," said Chris Sakalosky, vice president, Strategic Industries at Google Cloud. "With this partnership, we continue to help organizations across the healthcare spectrum tackle the most complex data harmonization challenges, unlocking insights and improving outcomes."
