INDUSTRY WATCH
T
oo many healthcare
organisations cling tightly to
their data, and who can blame
them? With an increasingly stringent
regulatory environment, protecting their
customers personal information and
privacy is paramount.
Embracing data integration technology
will result in infinitely better care for
patients, as well as streamlined operations,
greater efficiencies and cost savings.
This is where Magic Software, a global
provider of end-to-end integration and
application development, comes in.
Through Axiz, a host of healthcare
providers are now benefiting from the
Magic XPI Integration Platform, a single
platform for dynamic, limitless connectivity.
And it is not only benefiting hospitals;
it is also helping provider and payer
organisations including HMOs, PPOs,
medical centres, clinics, skilled nursing
facilities, health information providers,
senior health care providers, dental
centres and medical offices.
Magic Software brings unique business
benefits for healthcare providers across
the board. Firstly, their software boasts
open standards for flexible compliance.
Magic’s XPI Integration Platform helps
organisations gain fast regulatory
compliance by bridging standards
through a technology approach to
process integration that is totally neutral.
Instead of attempting to force adoption
of one standard, Magic XPI understand
the wide range of standards used across
the healthcare industries today.

HL7. In this way, data transformation
to and from HL7 remains a crucial need
for many healthcare customers. Magix
XPI features a specialised connector for
HL7, offering a fantastic framework for
managing the business processes around
these data transformations, and doing
this in a way that guarantees the best
degree of operational integrity.
Magic XPI also features RFID data
integration. There is a growing interest
in using radio frequency identification
devices for tasks such as patient tracking,
pharmaceuticals logistics and hazardous
or biowaste management.
RFID is a compelling offering as it is
an efficient and cost-effective way for
healthcare IT professionals to incorporate
new technologies with existing
applications and systems.
Currently, HIPAA standards for exchange
of healthcare information are based
on Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
Magic XPI is the perfect solution to
enable healthcare organisations to
become compliant in line with the HIPAA
standards based on EDI. In addition, the platform offers superior
XML handling. As a growing number
of healthcare industry protocols are
moving to the use of XML to replace EDI,
healthcare organisations don’t have to
worry with the Magic XPI and Magic XPA,
the company’s low-code platform.
The majority of healthcare applications,
specifically the older legacy applications,
make use of information exchange via In terms of scalability, Magic’s
technology can handle even the most
exacting performance needs. Magic XPI
