Siemens OPENLink™ - Features & Benefits
Integrate disparate lab systems easily and cost-effectively.
Connectivity between networked lab systems reduces the time it takes to store and retrieve vital patient information, dramatically improving healthcare and boosting lab productivity. Siemens OPENLink allows organizations to integrate all applications and systems, regardless of type or vendor, enabling them to deliver that connectivity without the need for costly customization.
With OPENLink, IT staff gains complete control over the implementation, modification, and troubleshooting of interfaces between systems.
- No programming experience is required for building interfaces with OPENLink.
- No special training is necessary.
- All traditionally difficult programming tasks like network protocol conversion, message formatting, data translation, and transaction routing can be easily achieved with simple-to-use graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
- Users with programming expertise can extend OPENLink capabilities using Microsoft® Visual C++®, COM objects, ODBC Adaptors, SQL queries, Java Wrappers, and other modules.
Ensure all your applications work together
OPENLink includes a range of capabilities to guarantee application and system integration now and in the future, including:
- Support for numerous protocols and connections, including Web services, EDI, SOAP, X12, XML, DICOM, HTTP/HTTPS, and TCP/IP, ensuring integration of current applications and technologies
- Support for new IT requirements and technologies
- Built-in model definitions and support for a variety of Siemens and third-party products, ensuring rapid and smooth integration
Testing, monitoring, and troubleshooting
OPENLink makes testing, monitoring, and diagnosing straightforward and simple. Using OPENLink GUIs, IT staff can easily test interface definitions, diagnose interface issues, identify problems before they escalate, obtain details about the system, and archive OPENLink transactions. Many GUI features can be customized according to individual use requirements.
Comprehensive reporting and easy administration
OPENLink’s comprehensive reporting system documents all definitions, enhancing integration and troubleshooting. OPENLink includes a built-in set of reports, enabling staff members to produce a record of definitions and relationships that exist between interfaces. Custom reports can easily be created by querying the underlying, industry-standard database.
A graphical interface allows administrators to control who can use OPENLink. Administrators can create and manage user accounts, groups, and user rights, and restrict access to specific users or groups.
