Mirth Connect is a cross-platform interface engine used in the healthcare industry that enables the management of information using bi-directional sending of many types of messages.[1][2] The primary use of this interface engine is in healthcare.[2]
On September 9, 2013 Mirth Corporation announced they were acquired by Quality Systems (now NextGen Healthcare).[3]
As of March 2025, Nextgen Healthcare announced Mirth Connect will become a single licensed, commercial product and the open-source free version can continue to be used but will no longer be updated.[4]
Alternatives
Following NextGen Healthcare's announcement in March 2025 that Mirth Connect would transition to a single commercial licensing model,[4] several open-source alternatives have emerged:
- Open Integration Engine (OIE) – A vendor-neutral, community-driven fork of Mirth Connect that continues open-source development[5][6]
- BridgeLink – An open-source fork of Mirth Connect sponsored by Innovar Healthcare to ensure continued community access to healthcare integration tools[7][8]
