Summary of article
When Karolinska Hospital realised that the point-to-point
connections that for so long had constituted the backbone
of the IT-architecture no longer lived up to expectations,
the eyes fell upon xTrade Business Communications Suite.
By integrating the IT-processes with xTrade BCS, Karolinska
Hospital has been able to improve the IT-structure and avoid
connections that earlier had proven to be both resource
demanding and time consuming.
All communication between Karolinska Hospital and their
suppliers/services now passes through the platform as well
as SSL´s (Stockholms Läns Landsting) all referrals and laboratory
results. Presently a total of 30 different systems exchange
information with each other, says Alexander Stendahl, IT-coordinator
within the EDI-group at the hospital, to CIO.
xTrade BCS was chosen partly because of the high security
level. The hospital wanted to make sure that the message
handling would stay intact, security procedures such as
encryption was therefore something that the hospital demanded.
Previously none of the hospital suppliers had used a general
mode of encryption. Instead they all demanded that the hospital
would use the suppliers´ own server and client, with xTrade
BCS all this changed since all encryption is handled within
the platform.
Ever since the implementation of xTrade BCS everything
has run smoothly and the feedback from the users has been
nothing but positive. That xTrade BCS will be a lasting
element at Karolinska Hospital is Alex Stendahl sure of.
-"-xTrade BCS will last for many years. Xware strongly proves
that development of the product will continue on, striving
to be in the frontline with the latest technology," Alex
Stendahl concludes.
