Town Hall Meeting Explores Role of Middleware in Interoperability

摘要

Interoperability is on the minds of healthcare professionals these days as hospitals try to improve patient safety and the accuracy of medical data. Yet many hospitals are only in the first stages of device data integration. Manual transcription and selective device data integration are still the norm at healthcare facilities, many of which have yet to make it to full enterprise device data integration, according to Lauren Weigand, product manager at iSirona, a vendor that provides device integration middleware services. One solution for hospitals is middleware, which helps integrate patient data from medical devices into electronic medical records.
