Metriport - Plaid for Healthcare Data

Metriport is Plaid for healthcare data. We help healthcare companies access and manage patient health and medical information, through our open-source API and platform.

Through a single integration, Metriport ensures clinical accuracy and completeness of medical information to providers, delivering comprehensive consolidated patient clinical data at the point-of-care. By standardizing, de-duplicating, consolidating, and hydrating the data with medical code crosswalking, providers get a rich understanding of their patients' medical histories through Metriport.

As a developer-first, HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II compliant interoperability solution, Metriport is powering the next wave of innovators in healthcare, creating an internet for healthcare data.

Medical API

Serving as the world’s first open-source on-ramp to HIEs, our Medical API enables companies to seamlessly access comprehensive clinical histories for their patients.

Out-of-the-box, our solution provides access to medical records for ~90% of individuals in the United States, leveraging our data-sharing partners, CommonWell and Carequality.

How it works is simple: you provide basic demographic information about your patient — name, date of birth, gender, and address — and we return their medical records in standardized formats, such as FHIR and C-CDA.

If you’re a company looking to access patient medical records, get in touch with us today to learn how our Medical API can solve your interoperability needs.

Why Open-Source?

We chose to build the world’s first open-source API for healthcare data, based on a number of advantages this offers:

1. Immortal code: with our open-source approach, you’re reliant on our code, not our business. If a closed-source company goes out of business tomorrow, its customers are out of luck. With open-source, you get unparalleled reliability, always maintaining the ability to self-host the source code on your own servers. This advantage can be especially critical in healthcare, where organizations need to ensure longterm stability and success for their patients.

2. Security: externally auditable source code makes Metriport more secure than our proprietary counterparts. Furthermore, closed-source vendors may not be as forthcoming about any security issues, leaving their customers vulnerable to potential security breaches. It goes without saying, but we’re also HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 compliant, thanks to our compliance monitoring partner, Vanta.

   

3. Cost-effectiveness: in addition to offering a SaaS cloud hosted solution, we also offer our customers the ability to self-host our code, meaning there’s no risk of vendor lock-in. This is ideal for companies looking for a long term vendor partnership, knowing they can always self-host down the road once they scale their business.

4. Customizability: our solutions allows customers to benefit from community contributions, and build their own custom features and integrations on top of our source code.
