What is Iguana HL7 Interface Engine and Its Role in Healthcare?

Iguana Integration Solutions’ HL7 Interface Engine (Health Level 7) utilizes the international HL7 standard to make it easier for healthcare practitioners to exchange, share, and retrieve electronic health records. By strictly adhering to the HL7 standard, Iguana’s software enables both import and export in supported formats, including HL7 v2, HL7 v3, CDA, CCD, X12, NCPDP, DICOM, EDI, XML, and more as well as the setting up of a secure connection from one server to another in the forms of HTTPS, LLP, SFTP, RESTful APIs, and more. It’s also compatible with an array of database solutions that are HIPAA-compliant.

The Benefits of Iguana Interface Software Solutions

Iguana HL7 software solutions come with several key benefits for patients and providers. Though system requirements are nominal, the technology is capable of sending out 3,600 messages per second, making it one of the fastest on the market. Iguana integration solutions are also quite scalable, ensuring that the technology will grow with your practice and be there when you need it most.

One of the main reasons practitioners don’t like to upgrade their engines is fear of excessive downtime. In order to implement Iguana solutions, about half the time of competitors’ comparable engines is required. Servers upgrading to Iguana’s HL7 technology should have very minimal downtime, ensuring that your practice doesn’t get ensnared in delays.

Though the Iguana HL7 engine is quite powerful, using it actually lowers the overall cost of ownership for a medical practice. Iguana HL7 software allows quick integrations with minimal overhead and labor costs so that you can focus on building your practice. When this is added to the fact that more than 800 vendors and providers worldwide trust the Iguana HL7 interface engine’s solid reliability, it’s no wonder that it’s growing in popularity daily.

Future of Healthcare Interoperability

Healthcare interoperability is how seamlessly data from one system may be ported to another and effectively used without effort expended on the medical staff’s end. Given the effects of the current lack of interoperability seen in many offices around the globe, it’s no wonder that in the US alone, this costs practitioners upwards of $30,000,000,000 per year.

Without handy tools like the Iguana HL7 integration engine, software innovators are typically hesitant to jump into the health market. With so many regulations and requirements governing patient data and how it can be transferred, it’s often seen by software developers as too much of a risk to be worth the investment.

Free, international standards like Health Level 7 are critical to bursting through this informational “glass ceiling”. While it will take a while for providers to universally implement Iguana solutions and similar technology, hope is on the horizon. As more providers and developers are willing to work in this sphere, the bidirectional trade of patient information will allow for easier and faster collaboration than could have been imagined before.
