WebSphere Message Broker Connectivity Pack for Healthcare

Clinical application and device integration

• Creates integrated data transfers among HL7-based clinical applications, bedside medical devices and varied computing platforms and data formats.
• Routes, transforms and customizes content across disparate clinical applications and Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) to share and validate patient data.
• Enables easier capture, storage and re-use of data for current use and future review.
• Augments core WebSphere Message Broker functions to enable connectivity between applications running inside and outside the healthcare environment.
• Collates clinical data through sequencing, auditing, validation, duplication checking and processing of data across heterogeneous systems.

Prebuilt, healthcare-specific tools

• Implement prebuilt patterns to quickly integrate common HL7-based clinical applications and bedside medical devices.
• Use graphical monitoring, message logs and reports to help improve operational management and control of data flows between connected systems.
• Work with prebuilt connections that eliminate the need for re-keying data to help reduce manual errors and delays in information flows.
• Define specific actions to enrich data based on its contents and to move records to specific applications.
• Generate auditing and monitoring events to gain insights into the operation of clinical applications and make it easier to identify areas for improvement.

Deployment and configuration capabilities

• Work with configuration and deployment options that address common healthcare requirements, reducing implementation time and expense.
• Transform patient data into a commonly used format, such as XML, to make information more accessible to a broad range of applications.
• Enable your choice of applications for healthcare functions, such as patient records or pharmacy management, by offering integration between systems.
• Support deployment to operating systems supported by WebSphere Message Broker, including IBM z/OS®.
• Create a flexible foundation that can be expanded to integrate additional systems, applications and devices as organizational needs change.
