Interfacing

System C can benefit your organisation with data interfacing solutions

Most enterprise-wide healthcare IT projects require some level of system interfacing, as disparate systems need to share patient and clinical data either with real-time interfacing or as a batch process. Such interfacing is notoriously difficult to successfully develop and implement. However System C has had considerable success in interfacing projects and is acknowledged as a leading provider of system interfacing. An experienced integration and interfacing team of 30 people can provide a range of services, including the supply and deployment of interfacing engines such as eGate (TM) from SeeBeyond and Rhapsody (TM) from Orion, the development of live interfacing and training and support services to end user organisations.

System C Healthcare has considerable experience in the development and deployment of interfacing solutions for healthcare organisations. We have developed and implemented interfacing technologies to all major PAS / HIS and clinical systems, and we were the first company to provide interfacing acute Trust systems to the LSP solutions in London (IDX Carecast) and the North West (iSOFT - iPM).

System C is a benefactor of the healthcare interfacing standards body HL7. We are experts in a range of different interfacing engines, including Rhapsody™ and eGate™ for which we are added value resellers. System C has also implemented HL7 v3 messaging for Choose and Book compliance for our own MedWay EPR.
