National Social Insurance Office for Westfalen, ''LVA'', Deploys SeeBeyond as Enterprise Integration Platform.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers FRANKFURT, Germany & MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 2003 SeeBeyond (Nasdaq:SBYN), a leading global provider of enterprise integration and composite application In computing, the term composite application expresses a perspective of software engineering that defines an application built by combining multiple services. People often compare composite applications to mashups. assembly solutions, today announced that the State Social Insurance Office for Westfalen -- Landesversicherungsanstalt Westfalen (LVA LVA Latvia (ISO Country code) LVA Landesversicherungsanstalt (German: public insurance) LVA Literacy Volunteers of America LVA Layered Voice Analysis (Nemesysco) ) -- has deployed SeeBeyond as its enterprise integration platform, enabling a common integrated hospital information system across the organization's rehabilitation clinics. Utilizing the SeeBeyond platform, LVA was able to connect a heterogeneous environment Using hardware and system software from different vendors. Organizations often use computers, operating systems and databases from a variety of vendors. Contrast with homogeneous environment. of disparate applications across individual departments of both the clinics and central administration. The SeeBeyond solution has allowed LVA to streamline work processes, optimize resource management and improve process management quality, data archiving and medical care. With two primary trends driving the I/T I/T Inner Tank decision for healthcare providers -- including telematics Originally coined to mean the convergence of telecommunications and information processing, the term later evolved to refer to automation in automobiles. GPS navigation, integrated hands-free cellphones, wireless communications and automatic driving assistance systems all come under the (the integrated digitalization digitalization /dig·i·tal·iza·tion/ (dij?i-tal-i-za´shun) the administration of digitalis or one of its glycosides in a dosage schedule designed to produce and then maintain optimal therapeutic concentrations of its cardiotonic of hospital processes), and the exchange of data between the service carriers and cost carriers -- this deployment of a common integration platform has enabled the seamless flow of information to and from the organization's hospital information and communication system, KIKS. "We wanted to provide a common platform to support our various digital information sources," said Jochen Broring, head of Hospital Data Processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a for LVA Westfalen. "We selected SeeBeyond to provide this communications platform due to its flexibility and modularity, in addition to its ability to leverage our investment in existing systems. Furthermore, SeeBeyond has proved to be a very effective partner with a strong committment to the "Health United" initiative." The LVA Westfalen initiative consists of three pillars, which serve as the foundation for KIKS. The first pillar represents the electronic patient files. The second component encompasses the order entry process that electronically handles all work processes. The third pillar of the project, the time and resource management component, uses an electronic process control system to ensure smooth operation. The comprehensive solution has led to considerable reductions in processing times and has eliminated unnecessary transport and bed occupancy times." "The SeeBeyond solution enabled us to design a simple, uniform user interface," commented Dieter Stashik, head of Organization Management for LVA Westfalen. "All functions can now be accessed from the graphical work interface of the electronic patient file. Specific programming knowledge of individual sub systems is no longer needed, which in turn, yields major savings in training costs." "More specifically, the savings resulting from the SeeBeyond deployment can clearly be seen in the discharge report process which, in the past, took between six to 10 weeks. Now, with all of the data available electronically, the report can be issued within just three to seven days of a patient's discharge. This time savings, representing an approximate ten-fold improvement, benefits not only the rehabilitation clinic which can now issue its invoices earlier, but also the insurance companies and employers," added Stashik. "SeeBeyond has long been at the forefront of integration for the healthcare space, both in the U.S. and in Europe," said David Bennett, vice president and general manager for SeeBeyond EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Refers to that region of the world. For example, one might see products packaged differently for the UK, EMEA and Asia Pacific markets. . "Our vision of composite application development is clearly exemplified here with the consolidation and presentation of real-time patient information from a large number of disparate, multimedia sources to the medical workstation. This is a significant step in the advancement of more effective patient care." The KIKS pilot project, which has been up and running in two clinics for more than one year, has received positive reactions from healthcare organizations across Germany. As a result of its modular structure and standardized interfaces, the solution now serves not only as a reference for all pension insurance companies, but also for many rehabilitation facilities, who have indicated strong interest in implementing a similar solution. The solution is also applicable to conventional hospitals. LVA Westfalen intends to further develop and extend KIKS to manage comprehensive online bed allocation. "In the future, it should be as simple to reserve a bed in a rehab clinic as it is to book a holiday -- advancing us from simple patient administration to patient management," added Broring.
