Case Study: Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Enhances EMR Integration and Efficiency with iNTERFACEWARE Iguana

Enhancing Operational Efciencies with Iguana

Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, a nationally recognized pediatric hospital, needed a better way to integrate its central EpicCare EMR with other critical hospital systems, including pharmacy, laboratory, and billing. The hospital wanted a flexible integration engine that would reduce dependence on the IT department and support evolving interoperability needs, so it turned to iNTERFACEWARE and its Iguana integration engine.

With iNTERFACEWARE’s Iguana, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center connected EpicCare with more than 12 hospital information systems and used the platform to convert over one million legacy records, including encounters, transcription, radiology, and vaccination data. The result was faster data exchange, fewer duplicate data entry tasks, reduced errors, and significant efficiency gains for both IT staff and physicians, with similar hospitals reporting implementation savings of up to $200,000.
