New Medical Data Exchange Solution To Integrate, Share, Report Public Health Data

Orion Health and Cisco have announced the Rhapsody AXP, a new solution to address current challenges in public health reporting and to improve the early detection, tracking and rapid response to possible disease outbreaks such as seasonal or H1N1 flu. The solution integrates the Cisco Application Extension Platform (AXP), Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and the Orion Health Rhapsody platform to provide a pre-configured and highly secure public health reporting solution.

The Rhapsody AXP solution automates public health reporting by enabling the highly secure and efficient interchange of medical data between organizations. Healthcare providers will utilize standards based transactions from the solution to quickly and accurately transmit and share data between public health agencies, partners, and healthcare information exchanges for improved disease monitoring and response.

The company claims, Rhapsody AXP is designed to be deployed with minimal IT resources within a hospital’s or clinic’s existing reporting system. Cisco Integrated Services Routers with Cisco Application Extension Platform provide a robust and highly secure platform for transmitting and receiving healthcare data.

Rhapsody AXP uses standards-based technology to integrate data within a facility and between external partners taking advantage of existing IT investments and systems. Currently the company helps facilities and healthcare communities that connect 35 million patients with tens of thousands of active users.
