For
Immediate Release:
LINK Medical Computing announces the
release of LINKTools®
4.2 Interface Development Kit (IDK)
Needham,
MA. December 29, 2000
LINK Medical
Computing, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of
its LINKTools®
4.2 Interface Development Kit or IDK, a dynamic,
cost-effective integration tool that allows users to "interface
enable" applications and systems with minimal to no programming.
The LINKTools® IDK features:
-
A revolutionary
Dynamic HL7
Mapper that allows users to point and click
their way through the creation of an interface. It
has an easy-to-use, yet powerful GUI for creating
user configurable templates that define which desired
data elements (including HL7 segments and fields)
the user wishes to receive, process and/or export.
-
The
IDK also includes the 4.2 versions of the LINKTools®
TCP Receiver and Transmitter released earlier
this year. In testing, the TCP
Receiver was able to receive transmissions at
a rate of up to 17,000 per hour while the TCP
Transmitter was able to transmit up to 100,000
transmissions per day. The TCP Receiver can now be
configured to receive data from up to five different
locations.
-
Also
included in the IDK are interface scheduling and maintenance
routines for automating the various interface tasks
and for ensuring the efficient operation of the interface.
"The release
of the LINKTools®
4.2 IDK incorporates 10 years of practical integration
experience and effort, and is the most important development
in the evolution of the LINKTools® family of integration
products to date." says William Nguyen, CEO of LINK
Medical. "We are constantly improving the tool-kit and
working with our Vendor-Partners to achieve, easier,
yet more robust levels of integration." The product
was previewed at the recent HIMSS 2000 show in Dallas
and was extremely well received according to Vice President
Andreas Theodosiou. "Based on feedback from our users
and attendees at HIMSS, people are eager for a cost
effective, flexible tool that they can implement with
a minimum of training and programming. With this release
of the IDK, we are bringing the user that much closer
to this goal and are revolutionizing the way interfaces
will be done". LINK Medical Computing, Inc. a privately
held company headquartered in Needham, MA., develops
and provides it's suite of LINKTools® products and
services directly to, or on behalf of, instrument/system
vendors such as Siemens, Agilent Technologies, Bard
and Del Mar Medical Systems. More recently, LINK has
also begun working directly with hospital IT departments.
