Interface Engine
Integration of health applications requires information created and updated in one heath application to be seamlessly available in other applications. For example information created in a patient administration system to be available in the clinical information system as well as other departmental systems such as pathology, radiology and pharmacy. A common approach is to interface information from one application to many other systems using HL7.

Interface engines typically provide functionality such as:
  • guaranteed store and forward of messages
  • "out of the box" support for the HL7 standard
  • message translation (moving and modifying fields within the HL7 message)
  • message routing (messages received from one application and sent to many applications)
  • Graphical User Interface (GUI) based configuration and management tools
  • Alerts and monitoring

Orion Health's Rhapsody™ Integration Engine has been consistently rated one of the worlds leading healthcare integration engine by KLAS.

Healthcare organizations, like other organizations, depend on sharing information to improve their business and professional practice. Applications and information systems no longer act alone. Information must be sourced from, and presented to, a number of different locations - be they financial, clinical or administrative.

Rhapsody™ Integration Engine has been specifically designed to meet the present and future needs of health integration. Rhapsody manages and streamlines message exchange between hospital applications, databases and external systems.
