What is hermes nexus?

The Future of Health Informatics and Analytics

Hermes Nexus is the most powerful commercial Clinical Quality Language (CQL) execution engine that significantly enhances health data workflows. By combining advanced optimization techniques specifically designed for healthcare data with the power of big data platforms of your choice (such as Google BigQuery, Apache Spark, and MySQL). Hermes Nexus delivers a groundbreaking solution. Learn about its pillars: Data Neutrality, Workflow Separation, Execution Flexibility, and (coming soon) Rule Language Versatility.

DATA NEUTRALITY: No more fhir conversion

Seamless Data Integration

Hermes Nexus seamlessly connects to your data wherever it is, eliminating the need for teams devoted to converting to and from FHIR. Say goodbye to third-party systems and data format hassles. With Hermes Nexus, your data remains in its native form while your informaticists interact with it in the familiar FHIR model. Besides simplifying your workflow, it spares the headache of data migrations and synchronization and additional vendors.

Execution Flexibility: Freedom From Never-Ending Replatforming and Modernization

Platform Versatility

Break free from technology limitations with Hermes Nexus. Hermes is not opinionated about your workflows or use cases. Whether it’s analytics, transactional queries, batch processing, or streaming, Hermes Nexus adapts effortlessly. Clinical reasoning rules compile on demand to run on various platforms, ensuring flexibility for future technological advancements. Embrace new tools without rewriting your rules, and choose the right technology for your unique needs.

Workflow Separation: Effortless & Seemless

Simplified Collaboration

Simplify collaboration between informaticists, engineers, and data scientists. You don’t need to be an optimization expert to write effective rules. Data scientists can focus on modeling, informaticists can focus on clinical reasoning, and software engineers can focus on operations and applications. Hermes Nexus unifies your team’s efforts, allowing everyone to use their preferred tools and platforms effortlessly.

Unmatched Speed, Flexibility, and Efficiency

Other Unique Advantages

Multilingual Input Support (coming soon)

Hermes supports CQL, but will expand its capabilities to include other modalities all integrated smoothly within the same engine. This approach not only embraces CQL but also allows rules to be expressed in whatever makes the most sense (for example, SQL on FHIR, DMN, natural language, etc.).

Modern Workflow Orchestration

Hermes Nexus supports open standard plugins allowing you to perform complex interactions with configuration. Need to trigger an outside computation for your dashboard after a clinical rule executes? No problem.

Unprecedented Processing Speeds

Demonstrated capabilities of processing up to 100 million patient records swiftly and achieving peak speeds of 66 million FHIR resources per second, setting a new standard in healthcare data analytics.

A Note From Our Founder

Over the last five years I embarked on a journey after recognizing the struggles in healthcare analytics of inefficient data processing caused by rigid technologies that required frequent and costly updates. This resulted in bottlenecks in clinical data management that impacted decision support and compliance.

Hermes Nexus was created to change that narrative. It is a flexible platform that directly interfaces with existing data, eliminating the need for FHIR conversion while maintaining FHIR capability, yet remains standards-based (CQL). This allows for the integration of diverse rule sets, streamlined data handling and reduced operational costs.

What sets Hermes Nexus apart is not that it can swiftly process 100 million patient data sets or process 66 million FHIR resources every second, but its adaptability. It offers freedom from the traditional cycles of IT modernization, decoupling informatics from operations. It supports multilingual input, going beyond CQL to accommodate SQL, decision tables, and more, mitigating the challenges of large-scale rule migration.

This is just the beginning of the Hermes Nexus journey. Please join me in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare analytics.

Key Features

Hermes Nexus' fundamental principles:
  • Data Neutrality: Avoiding the need to move and transform data.
  • Workflow Segregation: Separating informatics and engineering workflows to enable informaticists and engineers to focus on their specialized roles without needing expertise in both areas.
  • Execution Flexibility: Decoupling the execution mechanism from the rules themselves, allowing the same rule to be applied across various technologies based on the use case.
  • (and soon) Rule Language Versatility: Moving towards a system that is not restrictive about the what the rules are written in.
  • High-Performance CQL Compiler

    Includes an integrated CQL compiler that transforms CQL syntax into optimized executable code, enabling efficient processing on the runtime platform of your choice automatically.

    Health Data Optimizations

    Designed for healthcare, our system prioritizes key elements like valuesets, CQL, and FHIR, ensuring they are optimized for your technology needs.

    Scalable Architecture

    Supports modern DevOps such as Kubernetes for seamless cloud deployment, high availability, and elasticity, providing the flexibility to scale up or down according to data processing needs.

    Accelerated Population Health Analytics

    Enables rapid analysis of quality measures across entire populations, significantly enhancing quality incentive programs, regulatory reporting, and internal quality improvement initiatives.

    Stop Transforming Data

    For health informaticists working with CQL, everything appears as FHIR format. However, the data can retain its original format without the need for conversion to and from FHIR.

    Unified Rules Platform

    Offers a high-speed, unified platform for diverse rules engines, facilitating smoother migration of legacy rules to CQL and consistent development, testing, and change management.

    Declarative plugin-in architecture

    Our platform offers a versatile Kestra plugin ecosystem for tasks like retrieving CQL from Git, updating Looker dashboards, or running Singer pipelines, with hundreds of connectors for various scenarios. Engineers can easily plug in using YAML-based workflows.

    Extensible, Triggers, and Transformations

    If you can't find a needed plugin, create one in your preferred language. Our platform supports Docker and REST for full compatibility. Set rules to trigger on execution from other rules or start other processes as needed.

    CQL insights

    Gain insight into how your rules engage with the data and interact with one another so you can build insightful clinical rules.

    flexibility and scalability

    Your Choice of Runtime Platforms

    Hermes Nexus is designed for flexibility and scalability, catering to a diverse range of data management needs. By extending support to widely-used systems like Google BigQuery and JDBC-compatible databases including MySQL, it ensures seamless integration for various data environments. The upcoming inclusion of Apache Spark signifies our commitment to embracing cutting-edge technologies. As we continue to expand, users can anticipate a broader spectrum of platform compatibilities, enhancing data processing and analytics capabilities across different industries.
