Trusted by healthcare providers and digital health innovators, 6B delivers full-lifecycle support from initial architecture review and deployment to ongoing optimisation, training, and long-term engine management. Whether your engine supports open-source 4.5.x, licensed 4.6+, fully-managed cloud, or hybrid deployments, our services are tailored to your interoperability goals, risk profile, and service demands.
Mirth Connect, under NextGen, offers powerful HL7 v2/v3 and FHIR integration capabilities in a licensed enterprise-grade engine or fully-managed cloud model. It supports high-volume, bi-directional messaging with scalable extensions like the Mirth Command Center, SSL certificate management, message history, and FHIR connectors designed for real-time interoperability.
The platform enables teams to use drag-and-drop or scripting interfaces to build, test, and deploy connectors, translators, and filters. It supports interoperability standards across HL7, FHIR, DICOM, X12, APIs, JSON, XML and more. Built-in monitoring, logging, channel analytics, and multi-factor authentication underpin its suitability for NHS-grade, regulated environments.
We begin with a comprehensive deployment assessment to review your engine version (open-source or licensed), architecture, channel framework, resource usage, and environment—cloud, on-premise, or hybrid. This audit informs the design of custom monitoring solutions covering system health, queue backlogs, message latency, error logs, and certification expiry.
With real-time alerting and SLA-based incident management in place, we diagnose issues and initiate remedial action swiftly. We also manage version upgrades, including transition paths to NextGen’s licensed 4.6+ engine, connecting extensions, and guided use of the fully-managed cloud offering. Each rollout includes regression testing and staging validation.
Further services cover security hardening, SSL and MFA configuration, channel tuning, capacity planning, and access control aligned with NHS DSPT and ISO compliance. We offer training sessions to build internal capacity and guided support to ensure smooth adoption of the NextGen integration ecosystem.
Our proactive model prevents message failures and platform bottlenecks, preserving clinician confidence and continuity of care. Engine stability translates to reliable delivery of e-prescribing, results workflows, referrals, and discharge summaries.
Outsourcing engine oversight to 6B reduces internal IT burden while ensuring expert-level diagnostics and governance. Our service reduces total cost of ownership and frees your team to focus on service improvements.
Performance dashboards and monthly reports provide visibility into uptime, throughput, error trends, resource demands, and optimization potential—helping your trust plan capacity, future engine scaling, and new interface projects.
Our support adapts to your growth, from maintaining current setups to scaling cloud infrastructure, adopting FHIR-based data flows, or managing fully-managed NextGen cloud deployments.
We combine technical understanding of NextGen’s Mirth Connect engine with NHS-specific integration know-how. Our experience spans open-source 4.5.x, licensed 4.6+, and hosted cloud models, including hands-on upgrades, channel design, and analytics setup.
Our toolkit of reusable monitoring templates, alert workflows, upgrade processes, and compliance checks ensures fast, consistent, high-quality delivery. We embed audit, traceability, access control, and governance best practices throughout.
Support packages range from extended-hours monitoring to comprehensive 24/7 management, including upgrades and cloud orchestration. We act as a natural extension of your team, ensuring integration resilience, compliance, and continuous improvement within your interoperability journey.
