Medical integration environment

Medical integration environment (MIE) are specialised tools to simplify the sharing a medical and related data between medical equipment and electronic health records. Technically it is similar to an Enterprise Service Bus but with extra features allowing for legacy systems that do not use web services messaging. Typically they use Java Message Service most Enterprise Application Integration systems can be modified to be used as an MIE but may lack the crucial HL7 and Arden syntax for storing medical knowledge.

The largest company working in the e-health integration market is SeeBeyond who was purchased by Sun Microsystems in 2005. Other companies include TIBCO and BEA Systems

Raleigh Holdings International claims to be the first company specialising in MIE with the Medi2 and Medi2-NG software packages.
