Microsoft BizTalk

The BizTalk server here at Runnymede hospital handles communication from Meditech which is our EMR system, this communication is made up of hl7 messages. Biztalk allows these messages to be sent down to our other down systems like the food ordering system for patients. I personally use the product for my job of supporting applications and databases here at the hospital as well as supporting the EMR system which works with Biztalk.

Send and receive HL7 messages.
Logging of errors.
Ability to integrate with other systems.

Better help guide.
Better method to alert admins of issues maybe an email alert.
Performance could be faster.

Ability to send and receive HL7 messages.
Ability to send HL7 messages to other systems.
The protection of patient data through encryption.

BizTalk positively impacted this hospital by integrating with our new EMR and other software systems.
BizTalk allowed our bedside terminals to get set up with touch point dining so patients can order their own food.
BizTalk gave us a return on investment because it is widely used with more than one system here.
We got a return on investment because the cost of patients being for IPTV covers this server cost.

Prior Experience with the Product

Change management was a major issue with the implementation

Testing phase was the most difficult because of the issues that came up.
Training was also difficult because of lack of experience.
Documentation was out of date.

I did not get premium support initially but then got it because of the benefits such as faster response time.

Send and receive HL7 messages.
Protect patient data with encryption.
Integrate with our EMR system.

Looking for errors' in the logs can take time because there are a lot of logs.
It can be difficult to support the product without training.
Installing the system on to the server was cumbersome.

We were required to develop a synchronizing tool for uploading, downloading and management for a huge set of documents. This synchronization should happen on daily basis. There should not be any downtime. Users should be able to change business rules dynamically. So we did a POC for using Microsoft BizTalk server for message queueing and using business rule engineering for dynamic rule changes.

It is very user friendly. Users can change rules during run time and change workflow.
Huge capacity for queueing messages. It supports all types of adapters like Oracle, Salesforce, SMTP, FTP, etc. Also users can built custom adaptors.
If users want to dynamically deploy their solution without any downtime, this is a perfect solution. BizTalk will be a good fit, especially for public-facing websites.
Well-proven in the market. I used it when developing a website for Virgin Trains, catering more than 800K user requests per day.
Helps in load balancing.

It still could add more cloud features.
Need performance improvements.
It is expensive. Cost should be reduced.
Very few BizTalk experts. Usage is very low.
Simplifying the mappers and pipeline configurations.

We had a positive impact by using BizTalk Server. We were able to deliver a scalable solution which was a huge challenge to cater more than 800K users with a dynamic application.
Users can run the server in clustered mode and increase capacity with much less cost.
No need to keep adding web servers. It reduces the need for more web servers.

Microsoft BizTalk is being used in a number of places as an integration hub. Years ago it was chosen as the integration hub for the organization. As of late we have started moving some things off of this hub as it no longer meets our needs for an agile development platform.

Microsoft BizTalk is extremely powerful
Microsoft BizTalk can connect to a number of different enterprise applications
Microsoft BizTalk utilities a GUI environment for development

Microsoft BizTalk is over engineered for some situtations
Microsoft BizTalk can be frustrating to use as it forces you to use the GUI as opposed to code
Microsoft BizTalk is very resource intensive to create integrations

Microsoft BizTalk is more of a neutral ground as its [pricey] but it does do what it says
Microsoft BizTalk requires a much larger team of developers and server ops to run
Microsoft BizTalk can be pricey depending on your agreement

Pick up after faults quickly
Detailed messaging
Detailed Reporting

Hard to implement
Reporting can be tough to dig in to
Required 3rd party app for support

Less down time
Easier solving issues when they arise

We use BizTalk in combination with TOPdesk. Each time a network device enters the network it's checked ito make sure this use is valid. If not: the device is disabled from the network. This is a small example of how easy it is to use BizTalk. If users want to see which hardware is registered to their name they click a button on the intranet page, next BizTalk provides the data for the answer.

The frequently used capabilities are very strong. It's quite simple to create basic tasks or connections to other systems.
