LINKMED® Interface Total Cost of Ownership

1- Cost effective:
Complete Solutions for HL7 Interface with LINKMED® IDK Interface In-A-Box

With fixed budgets and a focus on strict cost control, healthcare organizations and system vendors are driven to seek-out alternatives that lower the cost of systems and application integration. Cost is more than just the price of the initial development kit and subsequent license fees. It includes the time and effort required in learning a new integration tool, the wage/salary levels of the individuals using the tool, and the time, effort and skill set required to implement and support each interface successfully. LINK Medical has priced LINKMED® Interface Software with this in mind. Moreover, as described below, the ease-of-use and flexibility inherent in LINKMED® Interface software guarantees you an interface that is the most cost effective to learn, configure, install, test, and most importantly, support over the long run.

The LINKMED® Interface Toolkit comes complete with software and applications to start developing your interface right out of the box. You get the eighth generation of LINK Medical software technologies upfront plus 12 years of practical integration experience. Time requires in developing and implementing your first interface is shorter and learning LINKMED® applications take about an hour via the Internet, Most of LINKMED® Training classes takes only 3 days and requires staff with only interest, your programmers will be happy because there is no programming codes for them to write instead they learn how to use a non-invasive approach via a GUI environment to implement a complex interface(s). Should your staffing change, you can quickly retraining personnel to use LINKMED®.

2- No Programming vs. Programming:
Absolutely No Programming with LINKMED® IDK software
The LINKMED® Interface Technologies makes use of Dynamic Configuration features one of its core technologies, effectively eliminate the need for programming. This new technology provides you and your organization a turnkey solution for implementing the interfaces for multiple disparate systems and applications, and it also distinguishes us from other vendors with similar products in the market today. Others Vendors promote the use of COM Objects, Active X, or DLLS generators require that the user allocate of scarce engineers/programmers to write program and debug the interfaces. Each time a site requires modifications, or a new site (with its own unique requirements) is implemented, the programming group is called upon to recode/recompile and participates in testing and installation. Moreover, given that most support organizations do not have programming resources, the programming group needs to actively participate in ongoing support as problems occur and needs evolve.
On the other hand, LINK Medical provides solution with the introduction of the LINKMED® Dynamic Mapper. Using the LINKMED® Dynamic Mapper, an installer is able to configure and build an Interface Template with point and click ease. No code needs to be generated and changes can easily be made remotely and on the fly.

3- Small Footprint and a Small Learning Curve:

The smaller sizes of the LINKMED® Interface Templates/configuration files allow easy remote installation and support. More importantly, templates can easily be reused at different sites that have similar interface configuration requirements. The highly intuitive GUI driven Mapping feature allows a knowledgeable installer with a reasonable understanding of computing to learn how the tool can be used to configure and implement a typical interface in one to three days.

4- Software Platform:

The LINKMED® IEt is Windows® based software, compatible with Windows NT, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, server 2000/2003 and above. All LINKMED® Products are written in C/C++, ensuring reliability, speed and efficiency. Communication with non-Windows® platforms is via the network or TCP/IP connection.
