Community Integration Platform (CIP) HL7 Interface Engine can be leveraged to exchange HL7 messages between various healthcare databases and systems such as HIS, LIS, EHR, EMR, and PMS and enable interoperability among  hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies and providers.

Tele-radiologists and imaging centers can use KG Intechgra’s RadManager Radiology Information System (RIS) to manage the radiology workflow and connect to various systems such as EHR, RIS and PACS and exchange patient information, order entry, exam results, etc. RadManager is also integrated with CIP HL7 Integration Engine and Dictation / Transcription solutions.

KG Intechgra’s EHR Consulting, Implementation and Data Conversion Services are aimed at meeting the meaningful use requirements by selecting a suitable EHR certified for meaningful use requirements and interconnecting various systems. KGI’s healthcare software experts have rich experience in handling EHR systems from a number of EHR software vendors such as Sage, AllScripts, Meditech, MiSys, NextGen, Praxis, PracticeOne, etc. and migrating patient demographic data, clinical data (such as visit info, allergies, medications, lab results, etc.) and billing information from your existing existing legacy PMS / EMR systems.
