Welcome to the Surescripts Health Information Network Interconnect home page! Your central resource for implementing Interconnect on the Surescripts Health Information Network. Interconnect lets Participants electronically locate patient records and exchange clinical data with other Participants and Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs) under TEFCA, using HL7 FHIR® R4 query and retrieve transactions.

How to build and send the FHIR® query and retrieve message used to discover patient record locations and exchange clinical documents across the network.

How the Exchange Works

Make your patients discoverable, then find and retrieve records anywhere on the network. Interconnect delivers both through simple, standards-based FHIR transactions.

⬆️ Interconnect FHIR® MPI Load

Load your Master Patient Index into Interconnect so your organization's patients can be matched and located when other Participants search the network.

🔍 Interconnect FHIR® Messaging

Search for patients, discover available documents, and retrieve records from responding locations using FHIR® R4 Patient Search, Document Search, and Document Retrieve.

What You Can Build

Locate patient records held by other Participants and QHINs under TEFCA.

Retrieve clinical documents into your workflow at the point of care.

Make your patients discoverable through the Interconnect MPI.

Map providers to organization locations for accurate routing.

Exchange securely over mTLS with QHIN-to-QHIN interoperability.

Standards & Frameworks

Interconnect transactions align with national interoperability standards and the QHIN Technical Framework so your integration works across the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement.
