Flexibility makes Columna future proof

The integration platform is the backbone of the Columna clinical information system. The primary task of this integration platform is to:

• Store and create secure, stable access to data
• Exchange data between the different clinical applications within Columna, and the world around it
• Link these clinical applications together, so they are presented as once single coherent clinical workplace

Flexibility and open architecture
The integration platform is so flexible that it can, for example, be adapted to changes in working methods, organisational adjustments within departments, sections and wards, as well as changes to classification systems, without requiring new software.

The flexibility and open architecture of the integration platform play their part in making Columna a future-proof system.

For user interface integration as well as service-based integration
User interface integration and service-based integration are two different ways of ensuring that healthcare professionals have easy, rapid access to the healthcare data they need to do their jobs efficiently. The integration platform has been designed to accommodate both these ways.
