How Does Smart Device Connectivity Work?
Overview
Smart Device Connectivity is a cloud-based solution that facilitates communication between supported hospital devices, hospital information systems, and supported clinical interfaces. Smart Device Connectivity is comprised of various software components, each performing a specific set of functions that allow Smart Device Connectivity to control access to, accept, store, process, and send data, as it is configured within the system.
Smart Device Connectivity is deployed in Azure Cloud, Microsoft's public cloud platform that provides services that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Azure SQL Database
- Azure Cosmos DB
- Azure Key Vault
- Azure Event Hubs
- Azure IoT Hub
- Azure Synapse
- Microsoft Power BI
- Many other core Azure services
Smart Device Connectivity provides the ability to create connections to various endpoints, thereby leveraging Mirth NextGen Connect middleware for bi-directional communication between disparate systems that support various protocols (such as HTTPS, TCP, WTCP) and data formats (such as HL7 and JSON).
Data received by Smart Device Connectivity from devices and customer information systems is stored in a Clinical Data Repository and is provided to various interfaces for display, alert management, clinical decision support, and charting (in an EMR) so caregivers can stay informed of the status of each patient.
