Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

At a Glance

Healthcare services involve a wide network of caregivers who need to coordinate service delivery, share patient files and procedure results, and view outcomes in similar cases. From the time a patient calls for an appointment to when the final insurance claim is paid, there can be thousands of process steps.

An SOA provides a time-saving information-delivery architecture that integrates these processes as well as addresses the critical security and privacy issues of healthcare information management.

Key Benefits

• Securely control access and delivery of private data to users
• Integrate patient services between providers
• Reduce the wait for patient data, test results, and insurance processing
• Enable providers to be more informed, timely, and efficient—all while protecting patient privacy
