MuleSoft in Healthcare

A wave of innovation is hitting the entire healthcare industry, including providers, payers, hospitals, service providers and government, with EHR initiatives in each segment promising improved patient care, safety, clinical quality, and lower costs.

Primary care physicians want to stay informed when patients are treated at the hospital. Medicaid case workers need to prevent avoidable re-admissions by responding to emergency room visits and ensuring that post-discharge treatment plans are followed. Researchers would like to identify clinical trial patients as patients enter the hospital. Carriers and HMOs want to aggregate patient data to recommend optimal and effective therapies with minimum waste.

These needs are driving a once-in-a-generation retooling of the world’s health IT infrastructure, and low cost, standards-based interoperability is key to the success of this effort.

MuleSoft’s healthcare solutions enable efficient, flexible and standards-based system interoperability, supporting important healthcare information standards and protocols that include HL7 and MLLP. With Mule, you can seamlessly integrate existing and future medical information systems, tying them together in a scalable way. Powerful mediation transformation and routing capabilities enable you to integrate any system or data source, and robust error-handling and high availability features ensure that critical patient data is never lost.
