Data platform InterSystems IRIS for Health supports Shift to integrate its Shift tool LIS (Laboratory Information System) to the National Health Data Network via cloud service
Shift, a Brazilian information technology company specialized in solutions for diagnostic medicine, has developed an agile way of integrating and communicating data so that the country's laboratories comply with Ordinance 1,792, published by the Ministry of Health. The ordinance made notification mandatory to the ministry of all the results of diagnostic tests for the detection of COVID-19 carried out by public, private, university and other laboratories in the entire national territory, within 24 hours.
Using the InterSystems IRIS for Health data platform, Shift developed the integration of the Shift LIS (Laboratory Information System) with the National Health Data Network (RNDS) through a cloud service that allows automatic updating of all data. data from clinical analysis laboratories, in addition to centralizing the service for communicating the results of these laboratories with the Ministry of Health. “Thanks to our partnership with InterSystems, our customers are able to send their data automatically and in real time to the RNDS, counting on cutting edge technology and world standards of interoperability in the health sector ”, says Marcelo Lorencin, president and founder of Shift. His company provides services to the largest laboratories in the country and is responsible for processing more than 280 million exams in Brazil annually.

In the opinion of Alexandre Tunes, InterSystems Brasil's country manager, "InterSystems IRIS for Health ™ is the first and only data platform in the world developed specifically to extract value from health data, allowing developers to quickly create and scale innovative applications". In addition, healthcare organizations also rely on InterSystems HealthShare and TrakCare solutions.
