Our Technology

The Meddius Integration Platform is a comprehensive set of integration solutions and services that simplify information sharing across disparate healthcare applications, among service providers, and across healthcare communities.

The platform delivers the following technology components:

Integration Router®

An appliance-based Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that simplifies the integration and flexible re-use of clinical, financial, and supply chain data and applications within a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This healthcare-focused middleware platform supports intelligent communication and mediated relationships between loosely coupled and decoupled data components and adapters.

SecureTransport®

When transactions in other applications fail because data is out of date, healthcare delivery stalls. The Integration Router® provides fast and reliable information delivery through its enterprise-messaging communication backbone, scaling seamlessly with the number of ancillary systems and adapters.

Integration Management

Modern healthcare organizations need visibility to respond quickly and effectively to changing conditions. Event processing within the Integration Router® identifies complex patterns among multiple data streams as they flow through the enterprise, providing decision makers with insight into the events that matter most – the moment they occur.
