Case Study: Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center achieves seamless migration of hundreds of interfaces and visual programming with Orion Health's Rhapsody Integration Engine

Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center - Customer Case Study

Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center (MSHMC), a large university health center in Hershey, PA, needed to replace Oracle’s end-of-life eGate HL7 integration engine after a decade of use. After developing a weighted scorecard of 92 criteria and vetting top vendors, MSHMC selected Rhapsody® Integration Engine from Orion Health as the successor to address ongoing integration and upgrade concerns.

Orion Health implemented Rhapsody to migrate several hundred interfaces in staged server rollouts—eventually moving 10–20 interfaces at a time with no reported problems—while preserving rollback capability. Rhapsody’s visual programming, clear JavaScript logic, and Orion Health’s support sped onboarding of new acquisitions, allowed staff to add new interfaces weekly or daily, and improved total cost of ownership for Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
