Intel SOA Expressway For Healthcare

Intel Corporation has announced Intel SOA Expressway for Healthcare, software that provides a way to exchange healthcare information inside hospitals and with health information networks.

In addition, Intel has created a group of validated independent software vendors (ISVs) that provide capabilities to deploy a complete health network powered by the Intel SOA Expressway. Current validated ecosystem vendors include Apelon, Infotech Global (IGI), Initiate Systems, Oracle and Red Hat. Services provided by these vendors include controlled medical vocabulary translation, clinical patient portal applications, enterprise master patient index, clinical data repository and operating system support.

"Intel has developed the SOA Expressway for Healthcare as a platform that can be used with a wide variety of existing IT environments to provide world-class integration regardless of the specific electronic medical records and other software platforms used at individual healthcare facilities," said Renee James, vice president and general manager of Intel's Software and Solutions Group. "We also leveraged the SOA architecture to drive down costs, which has enabled Intel to offer our solution at prices comparable or below other solutions in the market."
