Software & solutions for MEDITECH Data Repository.

Acmeware OneLink™

For exclusive use by our vendor partners, OneLink is a cloud-based application that enables the secure exchange of information among disparate software systems. Implementing OneLink is fast, technically straightforward, and results in a minimal footprint on the client system. Once installed, the OneLink services are designed to operate 24/7/365, recover automatically from hardware reboots and network outages, and self-monitor all aspects of the health of its operations. OneLink is deployed in the cloud using scalable Microsoft Azure technologies and messaging as a service. OneLink interface adapters are available for all MEDITECH EHR platforms.

Interface Adapter

The OneLink Interface adapter receives MEDITECH data elements from the Data Repository. Data are uploaded to OneLink over an encrypted connection on a scheduled interval where it is transformed and structured into JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. This information is then forwarded to the third-party vendor interface service using encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport technology.

Client Setup

Typically, OneLink can be configured and implemented in less than an hour. A quick summary of implementation steps includes:

• Creating a non-expiring service Active Directory account with
  • Administrator permissions on the local server where the OneLink service is installed
  • MEDITECH DR SQL Server read access to the list of specified DR tables
• Local firewall rules must be enabled as specified to connect to OneLink message endpoints via SSL
• The OneLink Windows service must be installed and set to run using the configured service account
• A short configuration questionnaire must be completed that includes at a minimum service account, facility, facility’s time zone, and DR server and database(s) names.

A more comprehensive implementation guide and checklist can be made available for any inquiring technical resources upon request.
