Iowa Health Picks Integration Partner

HDM Breaking News, July 1, 2009

Iowa Health System will replace its integration engine enterprisewide across 26 hospitals and numerous clinics serving 71 communities.

The Des Moines-based delivery system has been using the eGate interface engine of Sun Microsystems. The engine has reached the end of its life, says Joy Grosser, vice president and CIO at Iowa Health. Now, it will migrate to the Rhapsody application from Orion Health, Santa Monica, Calif. The project will help make inpatient data accessible to physician practices.

Grosser estimates the conversion will take about half the time originally planned. Early testing shows tasks previously taking two weeks to complete can now be done in a few hours.
