==Types of Interfaces==

Revision as of 19:51, 20 December 2012

Interfaces are connections between two systems. ConnectR is the interface management and monitoring tool of choice for Allscripts implementations. An example of an interface would be the data flowing from a scheduling system into Allscripts.

A single interface consists of both a source and target system. Each interface uses a map to define where to put incoming data on the way back out. Additionally translation tables can be used to map more than one value to a single output value.

Interface Engines

Types of Interfaces

  • ADT Patient List
  • Charge
  • Conversions
  • Dictate
  • Document (Inbound)
  • Document (Outbound)
  • Immunization
  • Order
  • Reg/Sched
  • Results
  • Outbound Immunization

Interface Engine Purchasing Considerations

  1. Installation - How easy is the engine to install? Is there a migration path from your existing interface engine?
  2. Usability - How intuitive is the user interface? Does it offer the capability of both GUI and code programming of interfaces?
  3. Performance - What is the throughput of the interface engine, i.e. how many messages does the interface process per minute for a given fan out?
  4. Reliability - Does the engine have 24X7 operation? What are typical causes/estimates of downtime?
  5. Scalability - Is this engine built to support increases in throughput? What is the nominal number of interfaces it can support without performance degradation?
  6. Configurability - Does the interface engine allow for customization and extensions to be carried out by the customer or 3rd party resources, without vendor involvement?
  7. Target Market - Does the vendor have a primary focus on health care?
  8. Support - Does the vendor offer 24X7 support? Is the support model included in the costs of the interface engine? Are there different tiers of support?
