KineXions Platform

Let New Age Systems help you harness the power of your information systems. Our KineXions (connections) solution is your ticket to leveraging and optimizing existing information technology investments. Here's how…

The current state of healthcare I.T. is such that…

• Finances continue to be tight and emphasis is on value.
• Hospitals cannot afford to build new information systems from the ground up, nor can they afford to sunset the applications they already have, which are performing basic functionality.
• Existing applications operate in silos.
• Integration between systems continues to be a challenge.
• It is slow and expensive to acquire or modify technology to address new business processes or modify existing ones.
• Hospitals lack meaningful performance measures.

KineXions integrates your internal applications, securely connects with your business partners over the internet, and automates your business processes. KineXions lowers the cost of integration projects, integrates with virtually any product or technology, and monitors business processes.

1. Solves your most critical information flow problems. Imagine eliminating your top 5 problems in a few weeks. How much is that worth to your organization?
2. Improves decision-making which improves productivity. Giving management and caregivers the information they need when they need it will improve business processes and the quality of care. Would you like caregivers to stop by to thank you for your efforts?
3. Scalable for any sized organization. Often products are either too expensive for small organizations or not robust enough for large multi-entity health systems. KineXions, with Microsoft's technology, is cost-effective for the small organization and vigorous enough to handle thousands of transactions per minute.
4. Installs in weeks, not months or years. A nagging problem with software is that it takes months or years to install. New Age Systems will have your first interfaces running in minutes and an enterprise solution operational in a few weeks.
5. Complements long-term strategic commitments. No need to alter your strategic partnerships. Our non-invasive approach does not conflict with your IS plans, and in fact allows you to make better use of systems you already have.
6. Backed by Microsoft technology. Microsoft is a leader in information systems. You may not have heard of New Age Systems yet, but you definitely know our partner.
7. Doesn't require scarce and expensive technical staff. Most integration products require advanced programming skills, which are difficult to recruit and costly to retain. KineXions is web-based and uses tools that enable non-programmers to create interfaces and define processes.
8. Directly improves physician satisfaction. Most software packages claim to improve physician satisfaction. We'll prove our claim. Give us the most critical physician requests for information.

KineXions can act on any information stored in any of your information systems. It can combine information from multiple systems, apply criteria and report outcomes. Just imagine how you can use this technology in healthcare…

Interface engine functionality: We connect systems, transform and route data. Using Microsoft BizTalk as the core of the product, New Age Systems has added a healthcare layer which converts data from legacy systems to XML. Interface design is fast and inexpensive, using point and click graphics and standard comm clients. KineXions provides guaranteed message delivery, is rules based, and is chock full of tools to help your staff troubleshoot problems. We're compliant with HIPAA regulations (i.e. required security and encryption for EDI transactions).

Business Process Management (BPM): KineXions provides the infrastructure for powerful business process management and monitoring functionality. With data exposed as XML, we can use web services to string together componentized business processes to address business problems with the best parts of existing applications. These composite applications combine functions from multiple applications to execute a larger, near real-time process. It provides support for application-level AND human interaction from a single solution. Our message processor manages the business process instances as they flow through the process model following the logic in the business rules. Each activity in the business process may call applications to perform work (ADT, pharmacy, lab, web service, etc.) or create tasks (such as approvals) that humans complete. It provides complete end-to-end management of business processes. Examples include…

• Supply chain management.
• HMO referrals.
• Patient self-service for appointment scheduling and pre-registration.
• Physician self-service for surgery scheduling.
• CPOE (computerized physician order entry)--KineXions provides a quick and easy means of designing and coordinating physician order entry, a complex process which spans multiple applications (patient care, pharmacy, lab), people (physicians and pharmacists), and business rules.

Business Process Monitoring: BPM is also about accessing the business-level data for measuring, monitoring, and improving patient care, safety, and other business processes. The runtime environment maintains the status of each process instance. As hundreds of thousands of instances of different business processes execute, they can be used to measure performance. The information can be used in real time to identify and manage exceptions; or retrospectively, to identify performance improvement opportunities. Examples include…

• Time from order placement to medication administration.
• Cost of delays (i.e. discharge, surgery, tests, services).
• Wait time for tests and treatments.
• Frequency of beta blocker utilization.
• Timeframes for prophylactic antibiotic administration.
• Real time charges for patient.
• Information in which patient safety rules result in a physician modifying an order.

How does it work?
KineXions uses Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 (see www.microsoft.com/biztalk for more information) as the core of the product. BizTalk is a web-based interface engine, which utilizes the latest standards, such as XML, SOAP, PKI, and S/MIME. KineXions adds a healthcare layer to meet and exceed the total business integration needs of the healthcare organization. KineXions creates an information flow that makes the right information available to the right people at the right time.
