Do we have to translate all our hospital data into a “MAINsuite” format?
With MAINsuite, all objects are maintained in their native form; they are not altered in any manner. When an data object is requested by a client service, desktop or application, the object is retrieved and presented to that service which knows what methods can be applied to that particular object. For example, a patient record application might request HL7 content, radiology images, tabular data from a relational database, and scanned images of a doctor’s notes. Through the browser, users can also launch native applications, such as a radiology viewer, to support advanced viewing and annotating operations.
