Hospital Deployment:
Issues and Concerns
- NJ pilot involves three hospitals: 2 with family clinics, one with a large pediatric practice.
- Hospitals vary in the degree of integration of their parts.
- Hospital IT organizations schedule Registry requirements along with all other tasks, often at lower priority since the Registry is an "external" project.
- Hospitals may have insufficient Internet bandwidth.
- Hospital firewalls likely need additional configuration to accommodate Oracle transactions.
- CIP product supports end-to-end encryption of data stream using off-the-shelf Oracle products.
