Interoperability Platform
We work with you to deliver incremental clinical programmes around interoperability. IMX enhances digital maturity by building integrated care through an interoperable platform, giving you the freedom to choose any combination for your data sharing challenge.
What is IMX?
IMX, ReStart’s Interoperability Matrix, provides an interoperable platform that allows you to quickly access data from incumbent systems, share that data with any other system, and view it, across any care setting.
The platform is made up of 5 independent services – integration services, IMX-IR Interoperability record, technical consultancy, support and partners – which together are entirely configurable to your workflows, clinicians and the people you care for.
Looking ahead, we can consider opening up IMX-IR (formerly VPR) to GPs, to people at home and other trusts. We have a good platform to support further data sharing in the future.

It was important to reduce the need for patients to continually provide and repeat personal information for each service intervention. In turn, this would improve the service-users’ experience, reduce risks and remove the duplication of data entry into specific clinical systems.
ReStart and IMX-IR (formerly VPR) were selected due to ReStart’s flexible approach to our integration platform requirements, their vast experience in successfully implementing and supporting integration solutions and IMX-IR’s ability to deliver real-time information via a single sign-on approach, quickly and cost-effectively.

Digital maturity at any level
IMX is designed with multiple entry points to meet any level of digital maturity. No matter where you are in your digital journey, IMX has an interoperability solution for your budget.
You may be a single stakeholder using one integration engine to deliver clinical messages throughout your organisation; or you could be a group of stakeholders seeking to share information across multiple systems; or you’re in a position to implement a regional shared care record.
Whatever your care setting, IMX allows you to choose the right mix of interoperability services to share data quickly and safely.
Every IMX service is relevant to all care settings. Customers can use one or any combination.
Reframing the interoperability issue
IMX is not a boxed-up solution. It asks what data your clinicians, or care providers, or management, or patients, need to see, and recommends the right mix of tools to get there. Using IMX, you adopt a pragmatic, step by step basis for interoperability and digital maturity, that enables real cost benefits to be determined and realised quickly.
