Does anyone follow the Microsoft Connected Health and Human Services Model?

Question

I have a team lead who is pushing to follow the Microsoft Connected Health and Human Services Model, does anyone have experience with this approach? Any suggestions/etc?

Answer 1

I’ve looked at (but never touched) the Connected HHS Framework (here -- pdf) in the past. The core integration server for the Microsoft solution is of course BizTalk Server.

It isn't so much of an approach as it is a SOA that's trying to solve domain specific problems. As I'm sure you already know, as business processes go, HHS requirements are about as complex as you can get.

The benefit of the Microsoft Connected HHS is that they've already created a set of services and infrastructure (e.g. eligibility, claims, HIPAA, etc.) to address these types of requirements. If you already provide Microsoft enterprise solutions, this may be just what the doctor ordered. :-)
