A continuing need is anticipated for the Connexall Software. This application is used to integrate systems hosted at EACH to support the Colorado Springs Military Health Systems (CSMHS). Current integrated systems include the existing Hill-Rom nursecall system, Vocera wireless communications system, QFlow queue manangement system, and the Codeannounce system. The Connexall application contains custom configurations to enable the integration of these systems.

The application is used in the delivery of patient care and is a critical element used in system integration efforts at EACH. Maintaining a maintenance agreement will ensure the availability of support for the application when issues occur within the system that require assistance from Connexall to troubleshoot and resolve issues that are out of the scope of the organization.
