The South Australian Department of Health has been recognised for a long-term piece of work to replace five different instances of a legacy integration technology with InterSystems' Ensemble integration engine to build its Health Information Broker (HIB).

SA Health is up for an iAward next month for HIB, which is able to integrate over 200 applications across all South Australian metropolitan public hospitals and seven regional hospitals. It is based on Ensemble, which uses the same technology as InterSystems' new HealthShare health informatics platform and has been implemented by two other state health systems.
