Leading Digital Health and Interoperability Company, Rhapsody has been recognized in Gartner Hype Cycle for Real-Time Health System Technologies  

Boston, MA – Sept. 26, 2024 – Rhapsody, a global leader in digital health enablement and interoperability, has been recognized in a 2024 Gartner Hype Cycle report. Rhapsody was acknowledged as a Sample Vendor in the Hype Cycle for Real-Time Health System Technologies (RTHS) report in the category Next-Generation EMPI (Enterprise Master Patient Index).

Rhapsody’s proven digital health enablement platform includes API-enabled, composable integration, identity, and semantic terminology solutions. It speeds up health innovation by easing the data access, exchange, and quality burden.  Built to scale, Rhapsody technology reduces the time it takes to move from idea to adoption, all with the intent of giving IT teams their nights and weekends back, reducing clinician burden, and removing any limits to better, more-informed patient care.

The report cited multiple drivers of the next-gen EMPI adoption, including, “Patient expectations of total experience improvement (e.g., reduced wait times, fewer errors and enhanced care coordination) drive organizations toward improved data accuracy in EMPI.”

Gartner identified the Next-Gen EMPI category as important: “Cross-linking or merging unrelated medical records can lead to adverse medical events and errors that inhibit effective diagnosis, treatment and billing, as well as erode patient confidence in the healthcare system. In addition, with the growing importance of interoperability among healthcare organizations to offer consumer-mediated exchange, next-generation EMPI is a foundational technology.”

“We are excited to be recognized by Gartner in the Next-gen EMPI category,” said Sagnik Bhattacharya, CEO of Rhapsody. “Our commitment to digital health interoperability extends far beyond API and standards-based integration; a robust EMPI is vital for driving initiatives that enhance patient experiences and ensure accurate data exchange across the entire healthcare ecosystem.”

More than 1,700 provider groups, health systems, digital health companies, and public health agencies across 31 countries rely on Rhapsody as their digital health foundation.
