EMerge is an MPI (Master Patient Index)... EMerge is a product with wide sweeping application across multiple verticals and a technology that is just coming into it's growth stage. Some early adopters have already installed MPI's and many enterprises have already budgeted and committed themselves to this technology. Another joint venture between MCK/HBOC will sound the beginning and end of the race simultaneously for dominance in the healthcare MPI vertical. Unlike the marriage of HIE/HBOC for message brokering, this decision, if the rumor is true, will be made at the front end of the product bell curve and not much later in the curve as was the previous agreement. Additionally the price point on EMerge is significantly higher then it is for message broker technology. As David pointed out this is very good news, if it's true, and I believe that it is very logical that it would be true, based on the relationship between the companies and also the relationship between the two technologies Message brokering and MPI)...it's a natural fit and will certainly boost HIE revenues nicely over the coming months and years. Another "Hat's off to Mr. Murrie" if this becomes reality!
