With the expansion of clinical applications in healthcare, the need for interoperability between disparate systems has become a priority in the industry. Not only does it entail data exchange through integrated technology solutions, but it also sets the standard by which all data is transmitted to ensure uniformity regardless of the vendor or application. In doing so, healthcare providers are equipped with up-to-date information,
resulting in improved quality of care.
With technology integration through Computrition’s
HL7 interface, XChange Gateway, and Single Sign-On,
food and nutrition operations can:

Connecting Systems Through the HL7 Interface
For healthcare foodservice, specific data points from a patient’s electronic health record like diet orders, nourishments, and allergies must be considered to ensure patient safety and satisfaction. To achieve this, hospital food and nutrition departments can utilize the HL7 interface, which provides diet order integration and serves as the bridge between a hospital’s EHR and Computrition’s software.
The interface then provides real-time, unidirectional, and compliant interoperability with a facility’s EHR. As a result, accurate patient information is securely transferred to the nutrition management system and is then readily available to staff managing patient diet orders and meal selection.
Within the HL7 data transfer to hospitals, these critical components of diet order integration are included:
ADMITS, DISCHARGES, AND TRANSFERS (ADT)
Patient admissions, discharges, and room transfers
ORDERS +
ALLERGIES
Diet orders, allergies,
special services, and
nourishments
PENDING DIET
ORDERS (PDO)
Diet order progressions
TUBE
FEEDING
Tube feeding order information
I/F
MONITORING
Monitors for connectivity issues and extended inactivity

Integrated Gateway to Enhanced
Technology Solutions
While all healthcare technology must have integration with existing EHRs, there is also a need for sites to integrate ancillary systems with one another to enhance the patient and patron experience. Additionally, the wealth of data captured in these systems can lead to a substantial reduction in manual processes.
The integrated XChange Gateway provides a communication mechanism between various third-party software systems and Computrition’s technology solutions on a real-time basis. This exchange is performed seamlessly, from machine to machine, using Web Service technology via a secure internal intranet or the Internet.
This middleware is particularly useful for foodservice departments to easily display menus on retail digital
screens and interactive patient systems . Thus, the XChange Gateway can offer infinite opportunities to
extend a higher level of knowledge and services to end-users and customers.

Multiple Products, One Authentication
As healthcare organizations expand their third-party integrations, healthcare IT must maintain these products to support their site’s technical advancement. While incorporating technology can bring about enhanced efficiency, using multiple products often requires multiple logins, which can lead to forgotten passwords, difficulty accessing necessary applications, and overall frustrated users.
With the Single Sign-On (SSO) add-on module, users can enter credentials once and quickly access multiple applications with a simple click thereafter, streamlining the entire login process.
The SSO process is achieved by technology integration with a site’s Active Directory that delegates user authentication for our solutions to their central database. In doing so, password policies and user access are maintained by internal IT staff. Thereby increasing security and simplifying processes for system administrators.
