MDI Solutions

What MDI Solutions does

MDI Solutions is a Toronto-headquartered healthcare integration software and services firm operating since 2002, with a secondary office in Manchester, UK (opened May 2012). The company's flagship product is MD Link, a Java-based HL7 integration engine offering drag-and-drop interface design, a visual monitoring console, and production runtime service that supports HL7 2.X, HL7 3.0 XML, SQL databases, REST/SOAP web services, file transfer, and custom Python/Jython scripting. The product portfolio extends into the MD Connect Scripting Toolkit, an OCR/AI module that converts scanned documents and eFaxes into HL7 messages, a DICOM Modality Worklist Server, MD Eye interface monitoring, and MD Results for Meditech NPR-to-HL7 conversion.

The company serves two primary segments: healthcare providers (hospitals and health systems such as CHEO, Munson Medical Center, Methodist Le Bonheur, UVA Health, NIPACS in Northern Ireland) requiring clinical, financial, and administrative interoperability between EHR, PACS, pharmacy, and medical device systems; and healthcare software vendors (Net Health, Yardi, MultiMedia Dental Systems, Trapollo) needing integration engines to connect their products to hospital environments. A third, less central segment comprises medical device manufacturers integrated via partnerships with QNX and Enovacom.

MDI monetizes through one-time interface-based software licensing of MD Link, professional services (HL7 development, migration, training, Epic Bridges consulting, Cloverleaf and Rhapsody reselling/support), and recurring managed services (24/7 monitoring, environment health checks, consulting retainers). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting hospital IT teams and healthcare software vendors, supplemented by channel partnerships, conference presence at HIMSS, MEDICA, and e-Health events, and content marketing through the corporate website.
