COLLABNET PROVIDES TEAMFORGE ALM PLATFORM FOR ALEMBIC FOUNDATION’S AURION OPEN SOURCE HEALTHCARE PROJECT
CollabNet’s TeamForge widely used to build software platforms for advancing the efficiency of national healthcare systems
BRISBANE, Calif., April 12, 2012 – CollabNet (www.collab.net), a global leader for enterprise cloud development and Agile ALM products and services, today announced that its TeamForge ALM solution is being used by the Alembic Foundation in support of Aurion, an open source project that enables the secure exchange of interoperable health information among diverse organizations using a wide variety of technologies. The Alembic Foundation (www.alembicfoundation.org), a nonprofit organization founded by former leaders of the Federal Health Architecture’s CONNECT project, is leading the development of open source applications that will expand information sharing capabilities industry-wide to improve the efficiency, openness and public value of the national healthcare system.
“CollabNet is pleased that TeamForge has been chosen by the Alembic Foundation to lead its effort of building a robust open community and development ecosystem around the Aurion healthcare platform,” said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO of CollabNet. “TeamForge is used extensively by multiple governmental and commercial organizations in the development of HealthCare IT systems and national standards. It makes perfect sense for the Aurion community to use a platform consistent with many other national health initiatives to build a powerful, open source offering for developing common specifications, standards and governance that enable secure health information exchange.”
In late 2008, federal agencies participating in Federal Health Architecture successfully demonstrated the ability to send information to each other as well as to regional hospital networks throughout the country through an initial system called CONNECT. While the CONNECT project was managed and able to take input from a select group of federal agencies, Aurion opens the platform to a broader range of organizations – bringing diverse and unique perspectives into a single line of software with widespread applicability.
“Organizations implementing Aurion as a part of their health information exchange strategy gain the benefits of implementing nationally-recognized standards that enable data exchange with federal agencies as well as with numerous other health IT stakeholders,” said David Riley, president of Alembic. “CollabNet has and continues to play an integral role in ensuring our projects are successful and reach as many organizations as possible. We are very grateful for their support and the rich expertise they share in building advanced healthcare IT systems.”
Aurion enables health professionals to request, send and receive medical records so critical information can follow patients as they navigate through the healthcare system. CollabNet’s TeamForge platform provides an integrated set of development, collaboration and project management tools with a secure, centralized on-demand delivery model to enable true collaborative development in an open, global environment – ideal for supporting a vibrant open source community.
