The fundamental objective of MOSS (Misys Open Source Solutions) Health Information Exchange is the secure exchange of patient clinical data with authorized users to advance the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare delivery. Misys Connect™ Exchange leverages IHE technical profiles to exchange medical summary documents across various source systems. For provider organizations, communities, and state-level Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) or Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs), these HIE Services enable an XDS.b (CCD, HITSP C32/C48 specifications) document (containing patient health information) to be shared regardless of the source system.
Patient safety demands accurate identification of both patients and samples. Accurate sample identification and management processes need to begin at the patient bedside. The greater the time or distance between when a sample is drawn and when it is identified, the greater the chance for error.

To maximize asset utilization from IV pumps to portable emergency equipment, hospitals and clinics need to be able to find and rapidly deploy these assets to maintain top quality care.

Healthcare industry today is focused on improving the quality of care and operational efficiency, while reducing costs and optimizing its backend operations. By Infosys Technologies Limited

In the midst of the Information Age we face the reality that ever more digital content is being created, stored and distributed, and there’s no end in sight. With as much as 90% of that data being unstructured, such as documents, spreadsheets, images and the like, storage as usual will not suffice in this new reality as organizations demand simpler, more affordable, scalable and reliable storage for digital content. The increasing demand requires a scale-out architecture that delivers infrastructure that supports private and public storage clouds and can seamlessly scale to meet evolving business needs.
