What is InterSystems IRIS for Health?
Open Healthcare is an upcoming movement towards interoperability, patient-centric data, and the breaking down of data silos within and between healthcare systems. InterSystems IRIS for Health is at the forefront of this movement, championing better data accessibility and exchange. Tailored specifically for the complex and highly sensitive world of healthcare data, InterSystems IRIS for Health is designed to tackle the unique challenges of this industry like separate systems, different stakeholders, privacy regulations and optimizing patient care.
InterSystems IRIS for Health is built on the same core technology as InterSystems IRIS but adds several key features that cater specifically to the healthcare industry. These include support for healthcare data standards like HL7 and FHIR, advanced capabilities for health data processing and analytics, and interoperability features designed for healthcare applications.
IRIS for Health has been instrumental in transforming healthcare operations globally. It plays a crucial role in managing electronic health records (EHRs) efficiently and providing real-time analysis of medical data. These abilities are crucial in providing immediate, informed, and effective patient care.
The Benefits of InterSystems IRIS
Coming back to InterSystems IRIS – it isn’t merely a powerful platform—it’s an engine of transformation. Here’s how it can revolutionize your business operations, the benefits of InterSystems IRIS:
Unifying Your Data Landscape
InterSystems IRIS offers comprehensive data integration capabilities, primarily through its universal connectivity features. This technology helps eliminate data silos by integrating your data from diverse systems, regardless of their format. The unified data landscape produced by this feature gives your business a more complete and meaningful understanding of the data, which in turn enhances your decision-making and strategic planning process.
Accelerating Performance with Advanced Data Management
One of the main technologies behind InterSystems IRIS’s superior performance is its multi-model data design. This design helps manage different types of data effectively, accommodating everything from relational data to object data and more. As a result, InterSystems IRIS can process large amounts of information and transactions quickly and without compromising the system’s stability.
Instant Insights through Real-Time Analytics
InterSystems IRIS stands out for its real-time analytics capabilities. This technology uses complex algorithms and computation techniques to analyze data as it streams into your system, producing insights for you almost instantaneously. These empower your teams to respond to changing scenarios promptly, maximizing opportunities and mitigating risks.
Bridging Data Gaps with Seamless Integration
InterSystems IRIS employs advanced interoperability technology to unite data from various systems and formats. Its universal adapter technology can connect to any data source, while the built-in transformations make the data compatible and meaningful across different systems. As a result, your business gains a fluid and integrated data environment that brings together different information sources and allows for better analysis and insights.
Guarding Your Assets with Robust Security
Another distinguishing benefit that you get with InterSystems IRIS is its steadfast security. The technology behind this security is multifaceted, including encryption for data at rest and in transit, role-based access control, and audit logging, among others. This solid security framework shields your sensitive data from potential threats, establishing a more trusted and secure environment for your operations.
Embracing Growth with Scalability
InterSystems IRIS is designed for growth, thanks to its sharding technology. Sharding is a method of splitting and distributing data across multiple servers, which improves performance and allows the database to scale as your data grows. With this feature, InterSystems IRIS adapts and scales with your expanding business, relieving the strain of constant data infrastructure adjustments.
Technical Aspects of InterSystems IRIS
Peeling back the layers of InterSystems IRIS reveals a mosaic of advanced technologies, weaving together over four decades of software development expertise. This technological feat lets InterSystems IRIS stand out in the realm of data platforms.
But what lies at the heart of InterSystems IRIS? Its technical DNA consists of three essential components: a multi-model DBMS (Database Management System), a rapid application development landscape, and robust application connectivity.
The Power of a Multi-Model DBMS
The multi-model DBMS sits at the epicenter of IRIS, offering support for a diverse range of data models, both relational and non-relational. This versatile system caters to large amounts of data and high transaction rates, making it a perfect fit for the demanding world of big data applications.
Accelerating Development with a Cutting-Edge Environment
InterSystems IRIS takes your developers on a thrilling ride with its rapid application development environment. This space, marked by its object-oriented programming model and a fully integrated toolset, injects speed and efficiency into the process of crafting powerful applications. Helping your teams accelerate development and bring more ease into their day-to-day processes.
Enhancing Connectivity through Robust Application Interfaces
Application connectivity stitches the elements together, like a skilled artisan weaving a tapestry. Applications constructed on the solid foundation of IRIS can connect seamlessly with other systems. The connection options are as diverse as the data IRIS handles – SQL, REST, SOAP, and native APIs for the likes of Java, .NET, and Node.js.
By bringing these components together, IRIS delivers a platform that accelerates your development cycle, simplifies maintenance, and boosts the overall performance of your applications. But that’s not all. Another facet of the technology is its embedded analytics capability, which allows real-time operational analytics. Meaning you can analyze your data as it flows into your system, making immediate data-driven decisions.
