TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 05/27/13 — Orion Health, a leading global, independently-owned health software organization, today announced that it has signed a license agreement with Novari Health to incorporate its into Novari-s Access to Care(tm) solution which integrates specialist or surgical offices with hospital IT systems to allow eBooking and the automated reporting of wait times.
Novari-s Access to Care system is the only off-the-shelf surgical eBooking, automated provincial wait times reporting, wait list management, pre-op standardization and business intelligence system of its kind. Over the last few years, the increased interfacing requirements at dozens of medical sites made the use of an internally developed integration engine unsustainable over the long term. There was a need for a more robust and user-friendly interface to support its growth.
The decision was made to integrate with Orion Health-s Rhapsody Integration Engine. Orion-s solution exceeded Novari-s requirements from a reliability, scalability, drag and drop message building, monitoring, alerts, ease of use, and short learning curve perspective.
“Deployed in three provinces, our Novari Access to Care solution easily interfaces with a variety of other IT systems including provincial wait list registries, master patient indexes, surgical information, scheduling and EMR and EHR systems to name a few,” said John Sinclair, Vice President, Novari Health. “Incorporating the Rhapsody product adds to our technical strengths and integration capabilities, allowing us to reduce our costs while at the same time delivering a better integration experience for clients.”
Both parties share the vision and mission of using their technologies in order to quickly provide healthcare practitioners with advanced tools to enable them to improve the quality of care for their patients.
“Several major healthcare software vendors use Rhapsody to provide integration between their products and other healthcare systems and we-re pleased that Novari has chosen our solution,” said Gary Folker, Senior Vice President, Orion Health. “When embedded into their product offerings, the solution offers flexible messaging capabilities without the need to depend on the facility staff or technology to successfully operate.”
For OEM partners, Rhapsody allows them to:
Orion Health has over 750 installations of Rhapsody worldwide. In Canada, Orion Health-s Rhapsody Integration Engine is at the heart of numerous healthcare solutions including OntarioMD-s Hospital Report Manager product. In the U.S., Rhapsody is used by OEM partners like the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who are currently in production with two instances of Rhapsody processing more than 200,000 transactions per hour.
