Orion Health Starts Rhapsody Integration to transfer information both internally and externally, without the need to replace existing information systems.

Orion Health, a leading provider of clinical workflow and integration technology for the healthcare sector, kicked-off its seventh North American Rhapsody User Group at The Sir Francis Drake Hotel today in San Francisco. The event includes 3 days of specialized training sessions and concludes on the 21st with a user group conference and reception.

Rhapsody Integration Engine enables healthcare organizations to seamlessly transfer information both internally and externally, without the need to replace existing information systems. Health Information Exchanges ( HIE s), medical device manufacturers, hospitals, and both public and private healthcare providers rely on Rhapsody’s accuracy and ease of use for managing millions of messages per day. Cost effective, easy to use and easy to maintain, Rhapsody is a top-rated solution meeting hospital and healthcare organization integration needs.

As always, the Rhapsody User Group attracts various users from all over North America to share best practices, understand the latest product updates and attend training sessions. The Rhapsody Integration Engine is a top-rated data integration solution that was recently tested showing the ability to process over 1.3 million HL7 messages per hour.

Joe Surkin, Director NEDSS/PHIN at Mississippi DOH will be one of the customer presenters at the user group this year. “This user group is a phenomenal way to learn new ways organizations are using Orion Health technology to solve the complex issues of health information exchange and public health reporting.”

“By automating our public health reporting process, we have been able to eliminate the heavy burden of manual reporting by health care providers and better respond to the health needs of our state’s residents.”
