This study introduces Mbridge, a novel solution for integrating legacy clinical systems with the Internet. Mbridge enables seamless access to web-based resources without disrupting clinician workflows during technology transitions.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Informatics
  • Health Information Technology
  • Computer Science Applications in Medicine

Background:

  • Client-server systems have long been the foundation of clinical computing in hospitals.
  • Bridging the technology gap between legacy systems and the Internet presents a significant challenge.
  • Complete migration to web-based systems is not immediately feasible, creating an interim phase with dual system use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe Mbridge, a solution for integrating legacy clinical systems with Internet capabilities.
  • To enable clinicians to leverage Internet benefits without workflow interference.
  • To facilitate a gradual transition to web-based applications and resources.

Main Methods:

  • Mbridge provides a service that streams context-sensitive clinical content to a browser.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Users continue to operate on the legacy platform, unaware of the background streaming.
  • The system uses linkage and coordination, avoiding code translation, data exchange, or replication.

    • Main Results:

    • Mbridge allows legacy system users to access Internet benefits seamlessly.
    • The solution is simple and affordable to implement.
    • Clinicians can be gradually exposed to new web-based applications without using two systems simultaneously.

    Conclusions:

    • Mbridge offers a practical approach to bridging the technology gap in clinical computing.
    • The solution supports a smooth transition towards web-based healthcare IT infrastructure.
    • Workflow continuity and user adoption are key benefits of the Mbridge service.
