Trend analysis has improved troubleshooting and program testing for accurate, reliable outputs
The features I appreciate most in GE Proficy Smart Factory MES are the ability to create trends when I troubleshoot during my daily work. I can also edit the program in GE Proficy Smart Factory MES, and before I download it to the PLC, I can test it first to ensure my program is working correctly. GE Proficy Smart Factory MES has been very useful in my daily work because it is user-friendly. I can also go online and change the IP address easily, which is simpler compared to other solutions. Troubleshooting with GE Proficy Smart Factory MES is easier than other options.

Streamlines clinical data exchange and has improved HL7 to FHIR transformation and monitoring
The best features Mirth Connect Health Check offers are that it provides a graphical way to create channels, source connectors, destination connectors, filters, and transformers without the need for extensive coding. The dashboard messages browser allows me to track message status, receiving, send, error, and troubleshooting issues quickly. It supports HL7, XML, JSON, and TCP/IP and HTTPS, RESTful APIs, and databases. Out of all those features, I find myself appreciating the troubleshooting issues, error identification, the API, and multiple protocols the most. The message browser logs, test messages, and connection testing make troubleshooting easier than many custom integration solutions. It also provides JavaScript and custom libraries that can be integrated for advanced use cases. In our organization, we are mostly using patient care devices, services, and order APIs. So mostly, EMR data, we are integrating with Mirth Connect Health Check as an HL7 integration. For the outbound, we are sending using RabbitMQ to device applications. Since using Mirth Connect Health Check, I have noticed that it has definitely reduced a lot of time as an HL7 or healthcare data integration. Different data formats require compliance and other aspects, but if I go with some other native language, it takes more time to build an application. Mirth Connect Health Check is very easy to use.

"Mirth Connect Health Check can be improved mainly in the JavaScript coding section, where it does not give me good access to the variables and the inside of class codes so that I can customize things on my own, which depends on the behavior of Mirth using the reference of their open-source Java code."
