Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) February 26, 2007 -- Orion Health, a leading provider of clinical workflow and integration technology for the healthcare sector, announces Rhapsody™ Integration Engine version 3. The newest release of the Rhapsody Integration Engine has been designed to help small to medium hospitals realize their messaging integration goals and prepare for future interoperability and health information-sharing. More than 70 percent of registered U.S. hospitals have fewer than 200 beds, according to the Chicago-based American Hospital Association. Integration engines, or message brokers, help ensure healthcare organizations are able to integrate and share data within the hospital and with external organizations. This integration enables them to provide quality data for patient care and participate in Regional Health Information Organizations, or RHIOs. Rhapsody Integration Engine 3 helps small-to-medium sized hospitals effortlessly implement data integration solutions by providing an "out-of-the-box" experience with robust capabilities. No third-party additional software or special hardware is required and no additional licenses must be purchased. "Smaller hospitals have the same data integration goals that large hospitals do, but often have a more restricted budget and fewer staff," said Paul de Bazin, Rhapsody General Manager at Orion Health. "Our goal with version 3 was to enable effortless data integration with reduced cost. Version 3 streamlines maintenance and monitoring functions to ease administration time as well as reducing a hospital's overall investment. This new version of Rhapsody offers increased system scalability, operations support, and an enhanced user experience. Version 3's new high performance message store eliminates the need for a relational database. More efficient message handling improves system performance to handle unprecedented volumes. The simple deployment, configuration and maintenance model enables the system to be maintained from a single toolset. Additionally, a single-step installation wizard makes set up easy and the Rhapsody Administrator has also been enhanced to make complex configuration more intuitive and easy to understand. The redesigned web-based monitoring system offers system status overviews and improved, customizable searching options. Rhapsody Integration Engine version 3 will be generally available early in the second quarter of 2007.
