Systems Integration: What Works?
In a complex environment like healthcare, systems integration is bound to be high on the information technology agenda. The continuing need to share and incorporate data from disparate systems to produce a useful patient record is a challenge that all health communities are striving to meet.

In addition, experts in systems integration report increasing complexity as healthcare organisations move towards data centre hosted environments.

In this Special Report we have taken the theme ‘What Works’ and brought together some case studies from around the country to show how systems integration is being approached in four leading trusts:

St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London

University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation

Plymouth ICT Shared Services

University Hospitals Leicester NHS Foundation Trust

Intersystems

Orion

Recent projects using Orion Health’s Rhapsody Integration Engine at Trusts in the East and West Midlands mean that Rhapsody now offers not only powerful trust integration solutions, but also “off the shelf” interfaces to Connecting for Health systems.

Rhapsody Integration Engine offers Trusts significantly faster message speeds, as tested at IBM labs, and supports messaging and format translation for all healthcare standards including HL7, XML and EDIFACT. Contact Orion Health for a free trial copy!
