Posted on: Tuesday, 26 February 2008, 12:01 CST
IBM has collaborated with nine business partners to help healthcare providers, clinics and hospitals to improve productivity, increase quality and reduce costs through the use of service oriented architecture.
These partners are all working to develop their healthcare applications using the IBM SOA Foundation and supporting a set of open technology and industry standards.
IBM's healthcare strategy is based on the adoption of a service oriented architecture approach and the use of open standards and standards-based electronic health records to provide secure and private exchanges of records between authorized healthcare provider and healthcare payer organizations.
Clients who deploy infrastructures based on this strategy can improve the quality of healthcare delivered to their patents while reducing the costs and expenses of providing these healthcare services.
The nine partners announced to provide applications that support a growing healthcare community that includes more than 8,000 clients worldwide. Their applications encompass many of the specialty fields that impact the healthcare industry.
Ivo Nelson, vice president of IBM global healthcare provider, said: "Integration is one of the biggest problems facing healthcare today. IBM's SOA healthcare strategy provides clients with a smart and flexible infrastructure that takes advantage of existing and new technologies to support changing business operations and conditions."
