InterSystems, a creative data technology provider dedicated to helping customers solve their most pressing scalability, interoperability, and speed issues, has launched InterSystems HealthShare® Health Connect Cloud, a new platform-as-a-service offering (PaaS). While controlling the complete infrastructure, the PaaS simplifies interoperability and data integration between clinical systems and apps. Health Connect Cloud offers expanded data automation and administration capabilities and guaranteed delivery, reliability, and stability to assist patients achieve better outcomes.
Many healthcare organisations have now joined the more than 70% of organisations that have migrated at least some workloads to the cloud, despite being historically slower to adopt cloud technologies. Migrating and storing data on the cloud in healthcare is a delicate process that necessitates extreme caution. The cloud is less secure than on-premise services, according to a popular misperception that has slowed cloud adoption. However, after shifting their data to the cloud, 94% of firms who use it report considerable gains in online security. Health Connect Cloud enables healthcare organisations to take advantage of the inherent security benefits of the cloud while providing massive scalability and high availability — all while minimising the time and effort required to deploy and operate the system.
Health Connect Cloud boosts health system performance with:
-
Cloud transition assistance: Addresses learning curves around cloud migration by managing the infrastructure on behalf of the customers. This enables organisations to more quickly and easily connect distributed datasets and improve workflows across the care continuum.
-
Accelerated integration: Efficiently moves workloads and information across cloud solutions and on-premise services to convey sensitive patient information quickly and securely between multiple applications.
-
Accuracy and interoperability: Manage high data volumes and promote interoperability between various institutions, eliminating delays and sharing misinformation.
-
Utmost security and privacy: InterSystems is known for delivering secure and highly available systems that can integrate critical applications at all times.
-
Support for HL7 FHIR® interactions: Provides healthcare organisations with the resources, required translations and intuitive tooling for custom transformations between health data representations — for example HL7 V2 and FHIR, or a non-standard format and FHIR — to achieve unmatched interoperability power and flexibility.
“Health Connect Cloud meets healthcare organisations at the intersection of the cloud and data exchange, providing them with the integration engine required to automate the secure delivery of patient data across multiple disparate systems,” said Alex MacLeod, Director of Healthcare Commercial Initiatives at InterSystems. “Health Connect has a proven track record of success in demanding and data-intensive environments. Health Connect Cloud will empower organisations to accelerate data integration and connectivity processes, reduce resource and IT staff requirements, and improve overall patient outcomes.”
