An Integrated Strategy to achieve proactive,
value based care
 Health Plans, Providers and Life Sciences organizations all play key roles in delivering
& coordinating care, managing chronic conditions and improving overall health
 Access to vital information improves clinical decision making - resulting in better
outcomes, improved quality and reduced costs
 Once connected the opportunities for care coordination, process improvement,
predictive analytics & patient engagement are limitless
 The need for a scalable and standards based connectivity solution in healthcare is
more relevant than ever before, as integration/workload/workflows extend beyond the
confines of a single organization
 Integration to HIE‟s or across organizations such as ACO‟s brings new challenges for
security and scalability
 Incoming data from multiple channels requires automation to be “actionable”
 Connectivity, Business Process Management, Decision Management and Predictive
Analytics are key elements of an integrated strategy

The Value of WebSphere Message Broker
Connecting Clinical Applications
 Ensure data is consistent across healthcare applications
– Consistent regardless of the patient‟s point of entry
– Ensure data is entered once and only once!
– For example, admissions are reflected across all interested systems
 Reduce effort on clinical and administrative staff
– Changes to demographics are reflected in all interested systems
– Reduces human error from duplicate data entry
 Integration done using good practice and architectural principles
– Enterprise service bus abstracts away point-to-point integrations
– Facilitates better reuse and faster time-to-value for new projects

Design principles for using Message Broker patterns
 A pattern in Message Broker is a template that generates one or more
production ready projects
 Common properties:
 Creates top-down, parameterized connectivity solutions
• Web Service façades, message oriented processing, queue-to-file
 Reduces common problems in flow development
 Communicates best practices to the broker community
 Complements existing bottom-up construction for connectivity
 Reduces time-to-value for solution development
 Patterns are a first class citizen in Message Broker
 Patterns have bubbled right to the top in the navigator view!

Building a smarter planet
A Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) document
is a defined and complete information object that
can exist outside of a message. In addition to text,
it can include images, sounds, and other multimedia
content. The CDA is a three-level architecture with
each higher level (2, 3) adding an extra section
(more specificity to the mark-up) of the document.
 The XML parser in Message Broker can
validate and transform any XML message.
 Through the use of a „Message Set,‟
Message Broker can store the CDA schema
and greatly accelerate the processing of
these complicated XML messages.
The Connectivity Pack for Healthcare and
WebSphere Message Broker)fully supports
all versions of HL7 and, more specifically,
the CDA.

Journaling
 Journaling writes a copy of every inbound HL7 message to a queue

Duplicate Detection
 Message control identifier (MSH.10) used as key for duplicate detection

Many Thanks to Ant Philips
29
Message Broker Built-In Nodes
The HL7 pattern uses a variety of Message Broker built-in nodes
HL7 v2 MLLP protocol is built on top of TCP/IP connections
Messages must be kept in order as they are transformed and routed
 Sequencing nodes enable high performance multi-threaded
processing
Persistent messages ensure data is kept safe and secure
HL7 pattern instances can be extended in many different ways!
Many Thanks to Ant Philips
30
 Message Broker Explorer is our administration application
 Provides a secure broker administration and monitoring environment
 Enhancements provide insight into the healthcare environment
 How many HL7 MLLP messages have been processed?
 Are my clinical applications connected and working?
 What status messages have been sent from my medical devices?
 When were the TCP/IP connections last created and dropped?
 Visual warnings when queues approach limits and applications disconnect

    An Integrated Strategyto achieve proactive, value based care  Health Plans, Providers and Life Sciences organizations all play key roles in delivering & coordinating care, managing chronic conditions and improving overall health  Access to vital information improves clinical decision making - resulting in better outcomes, improved quality and reduced costs  Once connected the opportunities for care coordination, process improvement, predictive analytics & patient engagement are limitless  The need for a scalable and standards based connectivity solution in healthcare is more relevant than ever before, as integration/workload/workflows extend beyond the confines of a single organization  Integration to HIE‟s or across organizations such as ACO‟s brings new challenges for security and scalability  Incoming data from multiple channels requires automation to be “actionable”  Connectivity, Business Process Management, Decision Management and Predictive Analytics are key elements of an integrated strategy

    © 2009 IBMCorporation Building a smarter planet A Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) document is a defined and complete information object that can exist outside of a message. In addition to text, it can include images, sounds, and other multimedia content. The CDA is a three-level architecture with each higher level (2, 3) adding an extra section (more specificity to the mark-up) of the document.  The XML parser in Message Broker can validate and transform any XML message.  Through the use of a „Message Set,‟ Message Broker can store the CDA schema and greatly accelerate the processing of these complicated XML messages.

Editor's Notes

  • #8 In a nutshell…standardize, digitize, connect and share! Talk about the timeline for meaningful use and why mobile is key to stage 2…and 3 
  • #9 Connectivity, Process and Decision Automation IS what will power healthcare in the futureDiscuss scenario’s i.e. discharge or post op order summaries and content, predict at occurrence of discharge the likely hood of readmit --score models, decision automation etc…Care team interaction and monitoring progress, sensors and remote monitoring data and ability for care team to engage appropriatelyContent from wellness, DM, caregiver
  • #11 Discuss influx of data from multiple channels- need to automate decisions and employ predictive analytics to respond accordingly to event – alerts, interventions, tailored content etc.Mention that cloud can achieve elasticity, scale on demand, and help ease the burden
