Today’s Challenge: In today’s Healthcare industry, electronic medical records, imaging data, and other forms of electronic information proliferate the healthcare industry at every level. With the industry moving at such a fast pace, one of the best ways for vendors to aid providers is to make it possible for them to exchange critical information between disparate systems without burdening the provider to develop or maintain these connections. This often calls for setting up dedicated connections between healthcare systems in order to transmit/receive messages, or leveraging an integration engine to fuel your platform’s connections.
These individualized connections, even if your data trading partners have an API, require strict formatting, continuing maintenance, and in-house development which all add up to high costs and long turnaround times for integration in your company.
