Providing patient-centered care is essential in today’s healthcare world, but a significant hurdle exists: ensuring all healthcare providers have a complete picture of a patient’s health. This is where coordinated care comes in. It’s the deliberate organization of care activities among healthcare professionals, allowing them to deliver seamless and effective treatment.

Imagine a patient with diabetes. They see their primary care doctor regularly but also use a fitness tracker and a blood sugar monitoring app, which generate valuable health data. However, this data is often scattered across different systems. Without coordinated care, the doctor might have access to this information, leading to missed opportunities for better treatment decisions.

With the use of coordinated care, healthcare professionals can tackle this issue by:

• Enhancing Patient Safety: Complete medical records help prevent medication errors and ensure doctors are aware of potential complications.
• Improving Health Outcomes: Timely and accurate diagnoses lead to better treatment plans and overall patient well-being.
• Boosting Patient Engagement: When patients see their healthcare team working together, it builds trust and encourages them to be more involved in their care.
• Increasing Efficiency: Streamlined care processes reduce redundancies, saving both time and money for patients and providers.

An integration platform must be used to coordinate this. Boomi’s integration platform, AtomSphere, bridges the gap between disparate healthcare systems. It connects Electronic Health Records (EHRs), wearables, health apps, and other data sources, creating a unified platform for all patient information.

This approach offers several benefits:

• Doctors gain a deeper understanding of a patient’s health beyond the clinic walls, allowing for more informed decisions.
• Patients feel more in control by sharing data from their wearables and apps, fostering a collaborative care environment.
• With all relevant data accessible in one place, care teams can collaborate effectively, ensuring everyone is on the same page regarding the patient’s health and treatment plan.

Boomi’s Advantages:

• Connects Everything: Boomi integrates various healthcare systems and data sources, ensuring a complete patient picture.
• Real-Time Access: Boomi’s API Management allows immediate access to patient data, facilitating prompt interventions and accurate diagnoses.

• Scalability and Flexibility: Boomi’s platform suits healthcare organizations of all sizes, from small clinics to large hospital networks.
• Security and Compliance: Boomi ensures all data integration adheres to healthcare regulations like HIPAA, safeguarding patient privacy.

• Proven Credibility: Gartner® positioned Boomi highest for Ability to Execute in the Magic Quadrant for Integration Platform as a Service published in February 2024

By implementing Boomi, healthcare organizations can break down data silos, foster collaboration, and ultimately deliver the best possible care to their patients. Empower your healthcare journey. Learn more about Boomi with egforit Software. 

Azure Integration Services is a set of application integration services within the wider Microsoft Azure offering. Hosted purely in the cloud, Azure iPaaS consists of four core elements:

• Logic Apps: creates workflows and business processes between services in the cloud and on-premises
• Service Bus: connects on-premises and cloud-based apps and services for secure messaging workflows
• API Management: publishes APIs securely for internal and external developers to use when connecting to back-end systems
• Event Grid: connects Azure and third-party services with a managed event-routing service, for event-based app development

These four are not packaged together, giving you the freedom to pick the components required for your particular use cases.

You can use Azure to connect virtually any cloud or on-premises applications, Microsoft or not. But naturally, Microsoft has made it easy to connect Azure iPaaS to other services within the Microsoft Azure platform. And organisations with a strong technical investment in Microsoft software often prefer the relative familiarity of Azure.

Azure Logic Apps connectors are available for Microsoft software such as Power BI, Outlook, SharePoint, and SQL Server, as well as for Salesforce, SAP, IBM, and Oracle.

You can also benefit from connectors for industry-standard business-to-business (B2B) formats such as XML, EDIFACT, and AS2. The FTP and File System connectors provide access to files and folders online and on-premises. When connecting less common applications, you have the ability to create custom connectors within Azure.

While the core services above only deal with application integration, Azure also provides data integration capabilities. This is required if your application needs to store unstructured data, for example, or include custom code for specialised data transformations.

To achieve these, you simply connect the Azure iPaaS to a service such as Azure Data Lake Store or Azure Functions. To work with unstructured big data in a traditional extract, transform, load (ETL) process, you should use Azure Data Factory.

Below are a few of the benefits our clients have seen from Azure-based integration solutions.

• Consumption-based pricing: With Azure, you pay for only what you use. If you have an Office 365 connector that’s triggered when a file is modified, for example, you only pay for when that trigger occurs. This makes it easy to start with a small budget and ramp up as your business needs expand.
• Test for free: Because you only pay for live consumption, your developers can build and test integrations in Azure without paying a penny.
• Little coding required: Azure services are low-code, meaning you create integrations with a drag-and-drop interface. This speeds up development and mitigates the need for lengthy testing.
• Maintenance included: Microsoft takes care of all the computing infrastructure, such as scalability and virtual machines. It would be much more expensive to retain your own IT maintenance team.
• Professional security: Microsoft has a team of 3,500 cyber security experts protecting Azure from global threats, so your integrations are in safe hands.
• Environmental transparency: Those with environmental targets can use Microsoft Sustainability Calculator to calculate the impact of Azure services.

Given the over 300 connectors available, virtually any integration is achievable with Azure iPaaS. Our digital integration team has used Azure to connect systems such as SAP, Excel, Power BI, SQL Server, and Oracle HCM Cloud. A few of the business solutions we’ve achieved with Azure include:

• providing field workers with up-to-date stock inventory information
• enabling customers around the world to track their orders online
• unifying disparate HR, payroll, and pensions data into a single HR platform
• automating the transfer of warranty claims data into a central ERP

Modernise and thrive with Boomi AI

Organisations need to adopt more powerful tools in order to not just survive…but thrive. AI presents a new era of opportunity for all businesses looking to improve strategy management and plan for success.

SAP S/4HANA is a leading, modern ERP system used by many organisations around the world. The S/4HANA platform is subscription-based, efficient at multi-tasking, able to automate many processes, and is easily accessed through multiple channels.

As you may already know, SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) support is due to cease in 2027. SAP users will be planning to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA very soon to ensure migration is seamless and painless.

For companies, data continuity will be important when migrating to SAP S/4HANA from SAP ECC, SAP R/3, or from a non-SAP ERP system. An iPaaS that natively works with SAP will be a useful tool. This is where Boomi aXis comes in.

What is Boomi aXis?

Boomi aXis brings enterprise-level, cloud-native iPaas to SAP customers. As the Boomi AtomSphere platform is low-code, teams will be able to build integrations much quicker than usual, at a lower cost. The Boomi SAP connector, aXis, is designed to be easy to use when unlocking SAP and non-SAP data.

Boomi aXis for SAP offers a low-ABAP code approach, event driven architectures (EDA), and the ability to expose custom SAP objects as RESTful API services. The advanced Boomi to SAP connector differs from other iPaaS solutions that integrate through SAP’s proprietary JCo middleware layer as it enables native integration with SAP ABAP stack. This results in lower development costs and more time savings by leveraging SAP’s security and event logic.

Benefits of Boomi aXis

• Officially SAP certified – Boomi holds the SAP certifications required for integration with SAP NetWeaver and SAP S/4HANA.
• Cut down on wasted time – Less ABAP Code results in simpler, faster, and easier to maintain integration and data pipelines
• No need for ABAP developers – traditionally expensive and difficult to find, the low-code platform helps avoid ABAP development
• Extract business data – easily populate external databases with your critical business data for self-service analytics and AI
• SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA – two systems can co-exist and reduce the risk of phased business process cut-over and data synchronisation
• Employ EDA-driven implementation – enable distributed applications with event driven integration to leverage your digital ecosystem investments
• Faster time-to-market and migration to S/4HANA – Eliminate the need for ABAP coding, while reusing legacy custom logic for faster migration
