Intelligent Integration of Health Systems
Health Interoperability Platform
Technology and ease of system connections
There is a growing demand for information management in hospital environments from various data sources, a factor that makes communication difficult, increases the load of systems and generates incompatibility between information.
To improve information processing and interoperability, health organizations need to ensure that relevant data is available and synchronized by all hospital systems or in a network of hospitals.
Bridgecare is a platform capable of integrating in only one central repository, information from various distinct systems and sharing them in various existing formats and protocols bridging multiple technologies.
The platform also offers important services in information management, such as: database hygiene, unified login service, terminology, infrastructure IoT, clinical engineering and equipment, among others.
Bridgecare Benefits
The variety of existing systems and equipment in hospitals and the consequent need for interoperability makes it impossible to connect point to point in service and organizational environments. In addition, the volume of information, diversity of protocols and communications format makes management unfeasible by the Hospital IT team.
The problem gets worse when the health organization has several points and bases of decentralized care resulting in multiple records and lost information.
The Bridgecare platform offers services that address these problems faced by health organizations simply and robustly optimized for IT processes improving the quality of the organization's information.
Bridgecare acts as a central repository of all information supported by various communication protocols and ability to translate messages from major formats into industry -used standards. In addition, the platform integrates equipment, measurements and sensors providing integrated visibility and management for clinical engineering for hospital maintenance and management.
