The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded Redox a patent for its systems and methods for translating messages between healthcare delivery organizations and technology vendors, the company announced recently.

“The Redox Platform establishes reusable infrastructure to scale healthcare data exchange across many partners,” Redox Co-Founder James Lloyd said in a statement. “This approach fundamentally changes the way healthcare organizations exchange data. We believe the methodology covered by this patent is the key to solving healthcare’s biggest interoperability challenges.”

According to a release, the healthcare IT company simplifies the way organizations exchange healthcare data by eradicating the issue of inconsistent data formats. Redox’s design allows healthcare delivery organizations to continue to use already-installed software.
