2023 was an exciting year for Redox’s product, engineering, and customer success teams. We delivered more than 20 new features and products to enhance platform capabilities, improve transparency and control, and bridge the gap across healthcare data specifications with powerful HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) API tools.
We’ve also introduced features to support increased scale, including high-volume backfills. This functionality gives our customers the ability to quickly process large volumes of batch data—reducing the overall time to complete a backload from months to weeks or even days.
In this 2023 lookback, we’ll share standout product releases and updates with their impacts to Redox customers and the industry at large.
New partnerships
Strategic partnerships allow Redox to offer new, exciting functionality that aligns with and augments our core Redox Nexus, Nova, Access, and Chroma products. In 2023, Redox announced these key partnerships:
- Redox and Verato joined forces to offer Chroma EMPI, accelerating interoperability with complete and trusted patient data.
- Redox is now Google Cloud’s preferred healthcare data integration partner, onboarding legacy healthcare data through Nova into Google Cloud products like Healthcare API and Healthcare Data Engine.
- Redox Nova powers downstream use cases for Databricks customers, unlocking siloed healthcare data to drive advanced analytics. Click to learn more on how to hydrate the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform with Redox.

Redox FHIR API tools
FHIR is a modern, adaptable, and fast way to exchange healthcare data at scale. The Redox FHIR API allows customers to bi-directionally exchange data with health system EHRs, including FHIR support for real-time event notifications, on-demand reads, and write-back into EHRs.
Building with FHIR is a strategic decision, yet EHR FHIR servers are insufficient to fully support most interoperability workflows. What is supported in FHIR is also highly variable across EHRs. The Redox FHIR API bridges the gap between legacy protocols still required to support robust interoperability workflows, and the modern FHIR standard that EHRs are just starting to support.
In 2023, Redox released multiple new functionality to support the FHIR API, including:
- FHIR base configurations for HL7v2 and X12
- FHIR filters, which are rules to allow or block a subset of data payloads that are received asynchronously from a connection
- DICOM on FHIR, allowing customers to translate DICOM messages to FHIR to interact with medical imaging and metadata
Transparency and control
It’s important for Redox customers to feel a strong sense of ownership over their data and how it’s used, particularly as it relates to transparency, control, and security. The Redox team made a variety of improvements in 2023 to address ever-growing concerns around the privacy and security of healthcare data.
Data processing
In 2023, Redox released custom traffic error monitoring and traffic alert rules to proactively notify customers of irregularities. When users create a traffic alert rule and the conditions of the rule are met, Redox will send an email to the designated user to quickly notify them of errors. Users can now monitor the health of integrations independently without relying on Redox support.
Security
The security of healthcare data and connections is paramount to Redox customers and stakeholders. One of our most impactful releases of 2023 was role-based access control (RBAC), giving our customers the ability to manage what their users can see and do in their Redox organizations on a more granular level. More enhanced access control mitigates the risk of leaking sensitive PHI (Protected Health Information) and reduces the chances of breaking changes with multiple users in the same environment.
The Redox team also released a number of other security-centric features in 2023, including:
- Platform API, where customers can fully setup and configure their application’s connection to Redox via an API without having to login to the dashboard
- Platform auditing, where users can monitor and review activity within their Redox organizations to reduce data security concerns
What’s next for Redox in 2024
Redox will continue to invest heavily in transparency and control in 2024, empowering our customers with more self-service functionality, error troubleshooting, and log enhancements. More robust workflow testing functionality is also on the horizon, as well as more advanced role-based access control for deeper, more customized control of access to sensitive data.
