InSites Platform Architecture

The InSites Enterprise Visibility Platform is built using standard Web Service interfaces to a variety of systems. The interface to clinical IT systems is both HL7 as well as HIPAA compliant to ensure system interoperability and complete security and privacy of patient data. The openness and extensibility of the platform ensures you will be able to integrate with new systems you may later acquire, essentially "future proofing" your investment.

So, why is an enterprise platform important?

An enterprise platform has many benefits over niche software products or application specific hardware. Many software products are only suited for limited uses, such as either ED workflow or asset tracking. Similarly, most location hardware solutions are only suitable for specific applications. For example, ultrasound and infrared provide room-level granularity suitable for patient flow as well as asset tracking. For asset management, WiFi or ultra-wideband location technologies may be adequate. Tracking inventory often requires a completely separate hardware infrastructure comprised of inexpensive passive RFID tags and specialized readers.

Using our highly-scalable enterprise platform approach enables you to pull it all together into one single system, minimizing the learning curve for staff while simplifying management of the system for the IT department. With the InSites Platform, your return on investment continues to grow as you expand how you use location information to automate your processes, optimize resources, and improve the quality of care you provide.
