Happy Festive season from the team at VCare
Reminder
Interoperability with InterRAI
Did you know it was one of our clients who, using VCare, made history by being one of the first in the world to import interRAI assessments?
Two-way integration with InterRAI is not currently possible for any software vendor in NZ. If two-way integration with interRAI ever became possible, then VCare would include that functionality immediately. If you are unsure about what can be done, please contact interRAI directly or contact us and we can put you in touch with someone from interRAI who will be able to help.
The present position on interoperability from interRAI is:
“The current interoperability approach for interRAI is that external systems are able to pull information from interRAI using one of the two mechanisms described below but are not able to push information to interRAI.”
