Orion Systems International, a provider of integration and clinical workflow technology to the health sector, and Boston Software Systems, a leading developer of workflow automation and integration tools for the healthcare industry, announced today a partnership which will provide greater ease of integration for the wide range of mainframe and “green-screen” legacy applications used in the healthcare industry.
The partnership involves Orion embedding the Boston WorkStation™ scripting tool in Orion’s Rhapsody Integration Engine and also as a Single Sign-On (SSO) and context management scripting tool in Concerto Medical Applications Portal.
“Green screen and mainframe style systems continue to play an important role in many healthcare organizations’ information infrastructures,” said Paul Viskovich, President North America of Orion Systems International. “The Boston WorkStation scripting tool works for all types of terminal emulations including IBM 3270, Meditech and windows fat client applications. The integration of Boston WorkStation with Orion’s products will allow healthcare organizations to bring these legacy applications onto the web, making clinical data available to users where and when it is required.”
“Understanding our unique strengths, Boston WorkStation offers a proven enabling technology for legacy systems that complements Orion’s enterprise solution,” stated Steve Cohen, Executive Vice President of Boston Software Systems. “By combining these strengths, we are able to extend greater integration capabilities to the healthcare industry.”
Boston WorkStation simplifies and improves workflow by allowing healthcare providers and vendors to automate or accelerate the time-consuming processes that are done manually and create stable interfaces between legacy, custom and third party applications and systems. It has saved thousands of man-hours and dollars for hospitals around the world.
