According to the company, major feature enhancements in Aurion 4.0 include:
- Multiple assigning authority: to ensure that information is routed as quickly as possible to the correct site and the right systems in HIE participants that use multiple identifiers. Support for multiple assigning authorities also enables organizations participating in multiple HIEs to use the same unique identifiers across different exchanges.
- Core refactoring of Health Information Event Messaging (HIEM) services: provides a mechanism for publish/subscribe scenarios. An example of a publish/subscribe scenario would be a federal or state public health organization subscribing to information about public health outbreaks from care providers.
