Case Study: Holland Hospital achieves rapid interface development and seamless community-physician EMR integration with InterSystems Ensemble

Holland Hospital uses Ensemble to connect internal systems with community physician EMRs

Holland Hospital, a 209‑bed acute care facility in Western Michigan serving about 150,000 people, needed a more powerful integration platform to create a connected care environment. Its legacy interface engine could not keep up with growing demands to integrate internal systems and connect community physicians’ EMRs for better information sharing and patient safety.

The hospital chose InterSystems Ensemble as its enterprise integration platform; developers ramped up quickly and built new interfaces in roughly half the time previously required, with the first community EMR connection completed in just 10 hours. Ensemble enabled smoother care delivery and a better patient experience, has delivered reliable, unscheduled‑downtime‑free performance, and easily scales as the hospital adds more applications and physician practices.
