Integration story-smart Pipeline

I haven't written integration for a long time, probably because there are not many writeable items, I can only get farther and farther if I write more. Originally, this topic could be called "smart pipeline-the next concept that can be hyped on the Integrated Platform. Low-key and low-key.

First, enter an advertisement.

As many high-tech products are popular today, this advertisement uses film or animation plus narration. The following text may be a prototype of narration. By the way, the main audience is purely technical personnel, some professionals and students. The serving time may be several years later, and the serving channel may be a venue, then there are some professional websites.

Many years ago, in a biochemistry class, students asked a question about how the peptide chain knows what kind of spatial structure it should fold, instead of randomly weaving into a pile of protein viruses with low energy according to the laws of thermodynamic. Later, people found traces of quantum effects in more and more biological phenomena. In the past, electrons could find their proper locations through various convenient paths at the same time.

Many years ago, at a consultation site, young surgeons repeatedly questioned the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The white-haired old Chinese Medicine Practitioners also had a room of precious ancient books, and were detained by the feudal superstitious hats. Later, people were surprised to find out the similarities between the body fluid circulation of lower organisms and the ocean flow in the depths of the sea. Even with the help of modern imaging technology, they even observed the real meridian flow.

Many years ago, at a it conference, the entire infrastructure and operator sub-forums were immersed in a panic and anxious atmosphere, making them profitable for many years (especially in some monopoly markets) and more and more independent value contributors begin to take the lead. Later, there was a magical website on the Internet. It was not the same city as XX, and it was called ifttt...

Finally, the name and logo of a product or solution are displayed in black.

Let's guess what the advertisement is. What do you see in the end?

Maybe everyone has their own answers, but what I want to see most is an integrated platform.

In fact, application integration has not left the core of the topic for many years, both in the enterprise and medical information fields. It is also recognized that it represents the future direction of information system development. However, due to various reasons such as the development stage, concept, organizational structure, and technology, EAI has been difficult. A few successful integration cases do not depend on technology, but on an individual who acts as an intelligent pipeline within a specific organization. Therefore, it is difficult to copy such a success.

In short, in the field of application integration, we all say that the market is very large, but few of them actually make money. However, no matter what the customer needs, someone has to do it. Therefore, the current policy can only be:

1. Abandon the concept of big and empty, or even not to mention the integration platform, but to focus on a specific field, to solve a local integration problem to the best.
2. Embrace the concept of big and empty, explore the deep connotation of the concept, and use concise technology to bring it into reality, so as to make it magical.

The following is a reply to a post on the medical information forum, which has nothing to do with the above. Here we just want to record some of our understandings at a certain stage.

I personally feel that the idea of the integrated platform needs to be adjusted.

The integration platform is not a wiring board. The interfaces of different systems are the same as those of sockets, and can be used as long as they are plugged in. The integration platform is a middleware. Engineers (whether Party A, Party B or Party C) need to perform secondary development and customization on the middleware before using the middleware. Therefore, to solve the integration problem, the hospital should not only buy an integration platform, but also buy an integration service. The platform is just a tool, and the key is the person who uses this tool.

With the development of the hospital, this service needs to be carried out continuously or intermittently. It is not so much an aftersales service as an outsourcing service. With this platform, the integration service capabilities based on this platform can be standardized. With standardization, You can flexibly select service providers in the market.
