Delivering high-quality care may be the number one priority for healthcare providers, but reducing costs is always an imperative. The key to this is finding ways to streamline processes, eliminate inefficiency, increase productivity, and improve decision-making, thereby allowing physicians and staff to spend more time on patient-focused activities.
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.

Today’s enterprise is at the center of a number of conflicting trends related to changes in the network. Data centers are consolidating as enterprises are scaling beyond headquarters to regional, branch, and remote locations, and often the network functions as the primary connection between these locations. In order to be competitive, today’s enterprise network must be open for business wherever, whenever, and however business is done.
