Announces Version 3.0 of Its
Nexus Interface Enhancement Engine
SALT LAKE
CITY, UT, February 21, 2006 - Carol Owen,
Vice President of Product Management at Medicity Inc.,
today announced version 3.0 of Nexus, its innovative
data integration engine. It includes several powerful
features designed to extend the ability of large healthcare
enterprises to connect with systems outside their
own walls.
“A traditional
interface engine is engineered to facilitate interoperability
between internal systems,” explains Owen, “but
Nexus adds new features that substantially enhance
an organization’s ability to interface with
‘alien’ enterprise systems and with primitive
end points like physician EMR’s—a large
and growing problem for most hospitals.”
The Nexus engine
supports standard and non-standard data feeds, with
particular ability to handle HL7 interfaces (versions
2.1 through 3.0). It also provides inbound receipt
and outbound publication of FTP, TCP/IP, or web service-based
data feeds. Nexus has flexible support for data transformation,
data standardization, and data normalization using
XML transforms.
“Nexus may
have been the first product use of Microsoft’s
.NET technology and web services in the healthcare
industry,” explains Medicity CTO, David Coyle.
“The new version which now runs on Windows 2003
Server (using IIS) also adds support for SQL Server
2005 and native XML data handling.”
Perhaps the most
unique feature of the new Nexus is a self-service
interface monitor that exposes some of the engines
functionality in a secure web view that allows Medicity
customers to delegate interface management tasks—like
monitoring interface status—to their clients.
The simple interface makes it possible for non-technical
users to view status and then start or stop an interface
feed with a simple touch of a button. Users can also
requeue messages that were corrupted in transmission
or not received.
Nexus is used by hospitals, hospital
systems, large payor organizations, and reference
labs as an infrastructure element to aggregate and
publish clinical information.
