Info Support Develops a System for ZorgMatch that is More Reliable for the End User and Future-Proofed
ZorgMatch provides software that handles messaging between care providers, government agencies and care offices. The AZR-NL package eases the administrative burden for care offices providing long-term care. Info Support, with a mixed team, is making an important contribution to the modernization of the product.
Challenge
Modernizing the complex AZR-NL information system without compromising long-term care.
Target Audience
Healthcare providers, government agencies (CIZ and CAK), healthcare offices and clients with long-term care.
Result
A future-proof system that is more reliable for the end user.
Customized product for long-term care
Several components of AZR-NL use software that is outdated or no longer supported. It is a customized product specifically for long-term care, consisting of different software components that must communicate with each other and use the same data. Modernizing the system must therefore be done in phases. In the meantime, the system must continue to run without interruption because the health care offices cannot do without it. Exchanging messages is crucial to providing quality care.
Much of the modernization has to do with technology, but those improvements also create direct benefits for users. It provides better performance, fewer errors and improved troubleshooting. We are also more agile now and can respond better to customer needs.Paul Bleijenbergh, Managing Director of ZorgMatch
Deploying components independently
By customizing the system under an event-driven architecture, it is possible to roll out components independently while the system continues to work. That way, ZorgMatch can put a piece of software live every month. Glue components are used in phased replacement. Old and new techniques must be able to work together at the database level. With a glue component, you keep the data synchronized between old and new components. You can then slowly replace a component, eventually removing the “glue.
Better healthcare
AZR-NL is being gradually improved without any inconvenience to users. When the modernization is fully implemented, AZR-NL will become even more reliable for end users, leading to better care.
We work with an event-driven architecture. In short, this means that we can implement components independently while keeping the system working.Bas, Software Engineer at Info Support
