The goal of the integration game is interoperability

InterSystems has two parts to its business. One is delivering patient administration and clinical decision support applications. The other is delivering the database and integration technology that supports the market leading clinical healthcare applications of our partners.

The key component to both sides of the business is integration. By working with InterSystems and not separate systems, our customers use integration to create software for connected healthcare to achieve their goal of interoperability.

The drive for interoperability varies greatly. At the national level, TietoEnator is using InterSystems HealthShare to deliver the national electronic healthcare record for Sweden.

At a regional level, CSC, the local service provider for three of the five regions covered by the National Programme for IT in the NHS in England, is using the InterSystems Ensemble rapid integration platform to connect legacy and new applications in the trusts it supports.

Finally, at a local level, geography and the accessibility of health services led the local health authority of Valle d'Aosta, in the mountainous northwest corner of Italy, to choose to centralise its clinical and patient data systems for hospitals and GPs, using InterSystems TrakCare.

	TietoEnator wins Swedish national electronic healthcare record contract with InterSystems HealthShare The Swedish national electronic healthcare record, known as the National Patient Overview, will be supplied by TietoEnator using InterSystems HealthShare software. The NPO is designed to enable the sharing of patient information between regional and local care providers in both the public and private sectors.

	CSC extends integration to UK NHS trusts with InterSystems Ensemble The InterSystems Ensemble rapid integration platform is now available to NHS trusts in the North, Midlands and East of England under the National Programme for IT in the NHS (NPfIT). Ensemble is being delivered by CSC, the local service provider for the three regions to integrate new solutions with existing applications.

	TrakCare brings electronic patient records to the Mountains of Italy The local health authority of Valle d'Aosta provides medical services to approximately 118,000 residents of 74 towns. It recently moved to a web-based InterSystems TrakCare healthcare information system to improve information sharing and sheduling, without the disruption and cost that would have been caused by a "rip and replace" transition.
