Clinical Systems

Advancements in information systems are revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Sophisticated clinical systems are emerging where patient information is shared rapidly to geographically-dispersed locations—labs, hospitals, physicians, administrative offices, records management facilities—securely and in compliance with HIPAA and other regulations. However, these information systems are growing in complexity, with increasing demands such as instantaneous feedback and "edge" devices integration: operational systems, diagnostic devices, embedded medical units and more.

Real-time connectivity is critical in the development of clinical systems. Application developers for these systems are faced with a host of challenges, ranging from integrating internal monitoring systems to delivering real-time analysis and correlation of patient data, to reducing patient errors. In addition, they're faced with critical design issues such as scalability in the number of devices and the size of the data, increased data security requirements, HIPAA compliance and integration with legacy devices and proprietary monitoring systems.

RTI provides the fundamental infrastructure for integrating the next generation of clinical systems. RTI addresses rigorous distributed network connectivity and performance requirements in these multifaceted systems. RTI's messaging software forms the critical backbone for distributed networked systems with tens of thousands of sensors, terabytes of data, requiring millisecond latency, correlating data streams with third-party systems—all while providing real-time analysis, privacy and security compliance critical to the healthcare industry.
