Northgate Selects InterSystems for Integration

U.K.-based Northgate Information Solutions has selected Cambridge, Mass.-based InterSystems to support its work under the U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS) Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (NHSP).

The national clinical IT system eSP (eScreener Plus), developed and supported by Northgate, provides a national online information and performance management system, including fully automated notification of newborn babies, enabling clinicians to manage screening and follow-up services.

InterSystems Ensemble rapid integration platform has been chosen to enable data to be fed directly to the eSP from the 2,400 pieces of hearing test equipment located at 182 NHS Trusts. This will remove the need for manual importing or duplicate entry, says the company.
