Our customer - Klinikum Lippe
The Lippe Clinic is one of the largest municipal hospitals in Germany. In around 30 clinics and competence centers at three locations, the clinic has almost every specialty. The approximately 2,800 employees have a valuable supply of knowledge and experience. Humanity, empathy and competence are our top priority.
The clinic treats around 50,000 inpatients and around 100,000 outpatients every year – from premature babies to centenarians. With a total of 1,224 beds, the Lippe Clinic makes an important contribution to medical care in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region. The Lippe Department of the Lippe Clinic, the Lippe Lemgo Clinic and the Lippe Health Center in Bad Salzuflen form the Lippe GmbH clinic together. The Lippe district is the sole shareholder. The optimal medical care of the people in the district of Lippe and in the neighboring regions is the priority mandate of the Lippe Clinic. As a house of maximum care, we offer high-performance medicine at a university level. We are constantly investing in our spatial, technical and personnel equipment so that our patients benefit from reliable diagnoses and optimal therapy options.
Data Passion was commissioned by the Lippe Clinic to set up a modern integration platform. When selecting the technical implementation, Microsoft BizTalk 2020 was determined with the associated HL7 accelerator. The previous legacy middleware solution is to be completely replaced by OpenLink.
customer feedback
"In search of a suitable service partner who supports us in integrating a new communications server based on BizTalk, we have asked several companies. In doing so, we were able to stand out with great accuracy and competence when preparing the offer. After a technical discussion with Mr. Koychev, Which answered all questions about the functionality and support options satisfactorily, we chose the provider that suits us best: Data Passion."
the challenge
SAP (KIS), Labcentre (LIS), Centraxx & German Biobank Node
When establishing modern clinical processes, our customer relies on a “best of breed” approach and wants to implement its most important processes with the best IT products on the market.
These IT products include:
- A hospital information system based on SAP
- The LabCentre labCentre system of i-Solutions Health
- Cairos biomedical research portal CENTRAXX
- German Biobank Node
Our customer wants to create added value for everyone. From the employee, who is allowed to work at the highest technical level, to the patient who guarantees the selected systems to run smoothly, to the company that is well positioned in the competition.
In addition, “Best of Breed” allows for more flexibility with regard to changing market conditions and at the same time can minimize future market risks.
the solution
Smart integration of systems with BizTalk 2020 and HL7
In order to implement a “best of breed” strategy, data must be exchanged securely and reliably between the different systems.
This avoids the double collection and double maintenance of the patient master data in the different systems. In addition, cross-departmental cooperation is made easier by using movement data such as transfers, findings or operational planning in all systems.
To this end, we and our customer have decided to set up a modern integration platform based on Microsoft BizTalk Server 2020 and the associated HL7 Accelerator. The existing legacy middleware solution is to be gradually migrated from OpenLink to Microsoft BizTalk 2020.
At the start of our project, we designed and carried out a multi-day BizTalk training course for customer employees. With this step, our customer’s employees were able to accompany the project from the start. After the training, we started building the desired integration architecture and implementing the first interfaces according to the customer requirements. We rely on an understandable, transparent and scalable ESB architecture. This enables our customer to operate the platform safely by our own employees without in-depth BizTalk knowledge.
Should there still be unexpected challenges in the company, we will support our customers with defined SLAs as part of our 3rd-level support.
