Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, has partnered with Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital. A full service acute physical rehabilitation hospital located in Jacksonville, FL runs MEDITECH as its primary healthcare information system and had been investigating ways to control integration costs and reduce manual efforts primarily around interface management. Operating currently in a point-to-point interface model, Brooks Rehab management saw a need to cut costs by maximizing its interface investments now and for future interoperability needs.
Summit Healthcare's interface engine, Summit Express Connect will enable Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital to lay a foundation to meet their strategic interconnectivity goals and to begin to see immediate ROI by leveraging its existing interfaces and eliminating redundant maintenance costs. Over time, as new vendor systems are needed for integration, Brooks Rehab will be able to leverage their current interface investments and easily bridge this information to the destination systems.
“Brooks Rehabilitation began searching for technology to allow our organization to connect our disparate systems and eliminate manual date entry and efforts currently taxing our IT staff. The Summit Healthcare interface engine provides us the tools to do this with advanced monitoring and alerting features to ensure data integrity and high level interoperability performance,” said Karen Green, CIO, Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital.
In addition to the Summit Express Connect interface engine technology, Brooks Rehab will also have access to the Summit Scripting Toolkit, a powerful scripting application which allows users to easily build scripts and interfaces. The Summit Scripting Toolkit will be the automation arm providing them with the ability to enable system integration when HL7 connectivity is not an option.
