Overview

HealthSMART’s Design Authority delivers the enterprise application integration (EAI) solution and associated services to integrate HealthSMART applications. The Design Authority also assists health agencies to enable this capability in their environment. The EAI enables applications to share data, maximising functionality and business continuity across HealthSMART applications and relevant health service applications.

The Design Authority is responsible for:

• Delivering standards based interoperability across all HealthSMART applications
• Defining messaging standards for Victorian health application interoperability
• Facilitating a higher level of integration knowledge and associated quality processes in the Victorian health sector.

Currently HealthSMART delivers the following application suites to health agencies:

• Patient and client management systems
• Resource management systems
• Financial management systems.

These applications are deployed in a shared services environment and the EAI is the critical component that delivers business continuity across the applications in this environment.
