In modern day healthcare, the role of an Interface engine has grown beyond the role of a mere tool that helps ingest, transform, map and transmit your data.
The Interface engines have now become full-fledged platforms that can scale up to serve as the operational backbones of a healthcare organization.
It would not be an exaggeration to say, that Interface engines have now become a second skin on top of the existing EHR, enabling customizations that can span a wide array of integrations ranging from point of care systems to clinical practices to state registries and HIEs (Health Information Exchange) and other incentive programs that can add financial benefits to healthcare organizations and their patients/customers.
In short, Interface engines have now revolutionized the way interfacing is done across systems.
Features of an Interface Engine
From a technology perspective, an Interface engine and by extension any service line that is built on them needs to have the following feature set:
EHR Agnostic – so that the service can scale horizontally across multiple EHR vendors and be flexible enough to connect to any kind of health systems or applications.
Support latest security standards – so that healthcare organizations do not have to worry about HIPAA compliance at any point in time.
Ease of Customization – the #1 reason for organizations to use an Interface engine, is because they have customizations that need to be performed over the health records generated by the EHR or that they need to conform to the specifications of a third-party system or application. So, it’s quite natural to ask for an Interface engine to provide support for customizations, be it in the form of custom code (for instance, Corepoint, Rhapsody and Cloverleaf) or native support for an existing programming language (for instance, Nextgen Mirth). In short, a powerful feature set coupled with ease of customizations is one of the top priorities to look out for when shopping for your Interface engine.
Mapping and conversion – Modern day interfacing needs require engines to provide the capability to easily migrate data across multiple formats and standards. An engine that provides support for the largest number of inter-format conversions, definitely takes the lead position.
Data exchange mechanisms – In order to keep up with the latest data exchange standards, it is no longer enough to support data transmission over TCP/IP protocol alone. Modern data exchange standards such as REST (and even SOAP) API as well as support for FHIR is indispensable.
Self-healing and High Availability (HA) – With the huge amount of data that is now shared between healthcare systems and the significant role that Interface engines play, one does not need to mention how vital it is for the systems to be ‘always up and running’. The engines must have inbuilt capability to detect anomalies and take precautionary measures to ensure that there is little to no downtime. Providing High Availability ensures that planned maintenance activities and patches are never a hassle and unplanned emergencies are quickly and efficiently handled.
Monitoring and Logging – Of what use would be an engine that does not provide its users a nice, little peek into what is going on with their data. In order for teams to be able to support, monitor and maintain healthcare interfaces, it is essential to have a dashboard that provides aggregated stats about transmission as well as a deep drill down into each electronic record that leaves or enters the system.
Cost Advantages
Given all the rich set of features of an Interface engine, the ultimate question a healthcare organization or a business owner would ask is:
Does the engine provide a substantial cost advantage over other offerings?
Does the engine have anytechnological edge over other competitors in the market?
Ask the experts!
In order to be able to answer the above pertinent questions, one would need the expertise of integration experts and analysts who have deep as well as varied experience in the world of healthcare interoperability. SeyfertSoft has been in the field for well over 10 years and possesses a strongly rooted experience working with a wide array of Interface engines, a plethora of customers and a multitude of healthcare integrations. SeyfertSoft is a business-driven organization as opposed to tool-driven. For this reason, our team of integration analysts and architects have experience working with both open source Interface engines such as Nextgen(Mirth) and OpenESB as well as proprietary tools such as Lyniate’s Corepoint, Rhapsody and others.
How can we help you to choose the perfect Interface Engine, for you?
SeyfertSoft understands that each healthcare organization is unique, with varying needs and budget considerations. We have extensive experience working with both small, rural and mid-range hospitals as well as the large healthcare giants. Our expertise covers a wide range of Interface engines, including open source and proprietary ones. For smaller facilities, we focus on customizing open source Interface engines to suit their specific requirements, providing a cost-effective solution with ongoing support and maintenance.
On the other hand, for larger organizations dealing with massive volumes of health records and complex integrations, we excel in employing high availability (HA) environments and handling intricate mappings and routings to external health systems, using proprietary interface engines such as Corepoint and Rhapsody. Our team consists of experienced architects, engineers, and interface analysts, well-versed in healthcare integrations across various EHRs, vendors, and HIEs.
