Brooklyn medical center implements InterSystems Ensemble

Maimonides Medical Center of Brooklyn, N.Y., has implemented healthcare software developer InterSystems’ Ensemble integration and development platform throughout the enterprise.

Ensemble’s embedded data repository enables end-to-end management and monitoring of integrated systems and service-oriented architecture environments, the Cambridge, Mass.-based company stated.

Stored information includes all messages, process state and metadata captured from working systems. The application’s browser-based management portal and Visual Trace facility enable developers to trace messages and examine their content, the company added.

The conversion, including development of some interfaces for Maimonides’ Sunrise Clinical Manager system from Eclipsys, was handled by a five-person team.
