MELBOURNE, FL/WASHINGTON, October 8, 2014 — Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, today announced that it has been recognized as a leader in the packaged health information exchange (HIE) solutions segment by IDC Health Insights in its recent analysis, "IDC MarketScape: U.S. Health Information Exchange Packaged Solutions 2012 Vendor Assessment, Doc# HI235830, July 2012."
Vendors were selected for review based on estimated market share and potential for growth. The report examined vendors that offer packaged solutions consisting of modular software bundled with implementation, training, and support services. Packaged solutions, the report noted, seek to reduce the risk of uncertainty related to project scope, timelines, and cost.
The analysis conducted by Lynne Dunbrack, program director, Connected Health IT, IDC Health Insights, concluded that health information organizations "seeking a combination of interoperable HIE technology, composite applications that support clinician workflow, and clinical and financial dashboards that present actionable information aggregated across the enterprise should consider Carefx."
Carefx, acquired by Harris in 2011, was recognized in the report as a leader for capabilities and strategies among the 10 vendors evaluated based on vendor briefings, customer references and secondary research. IDC Health Insights provides business and IT decision-makers within healthcare organizations with fact-based research that informs and supports critical business decisions. For more information about IDC Health Insights and IDC MarketScape visit www.idc-hi.com.
"A key differentiator [between Harris and its competitors] is that in addition to core HIE technology and composite applications, Carefx provides context management technology that complies with Clinical Context Object Workgroup standard, thus enabling workflow within the healthcare organizations' legacy applications and between the HIE and EMRs," Dunbrack wrote. "Harris has deep experience in the Nationwide Health Information Network. Harris was the prime developer of the CONNECT Gateway and was an active participant on the Direct Project. Harris deployed Direct Secure Messaging at Florida HIE, the first statewide HIE to use Direct for secure messaging between clinicians."
"The IDC MarketScape study confirms that Harris' acquisition of Carefx strengthened our position as a leading provider of packaged HIE solutions," said Tony Galluscio, vice president, Harris Healthcare Solutions. "As the HIE market continues to mature, with more private and state-wide organizations realizing the immense benefit to patients, clinicians, and administrators, Harris will continue to lead the industry through a focus on delivering the right information right at the point of care."
A nationally recognized leader in healthcare IT integration, Harris offers a full range of interoperability solutions, including IT infrastructure and management, clinical workflow and analytics, HIE, and imaging. Harris solutions improve healthcare quality, safety, efficiency, cost and outcomes by ensuring that the right information travels, with security and privacy, to the right person, at the right time, on the right device, at the point of care.
In a typical application, the AcuityH264™ receives uncompressed video from high and/or standard definition sensors. The uncompressed video can be conditioned through user-controlled image cropping or scaling that best meets the data link constraints. The compressed video stream is passed to the on-board processor for encapsulation with KLV metadata into the MPEG-2 Transport Stream (MPEG-2 TS) protocol. Synchronous metadata may be extracted from the HD-SDI VANC, or extracted from Line 21 of an SD analog or digital video source. Exploitation System Data (ESD) is converted to KLV metadata if needed. Asynchronous metadata, available as an Ethernet input, is multiplexed as an independent metadata service into the MPEG-2 TS. Additionally, local storage in MPEG-2 TS format supports content retrieval on demand. Management configuration for image formats, compression bit rate, and local storage is provided through an IP-based web interface.
Key Features
Compression of high definition HD-SDI video into H.264/AVC compliant video with data rates from 56 Kb/s to 25 Mb/s
AAC compression of 2 channels of audio
KLV metadata synchronized to frame accuracy according to MISB Standard 0604
Encapsulation of video, audio, and metadata into MPEG-2 Transport Stream
Cropping/scaling to meet channel data link constraints per MISB EG 0904
Selectable compression rates for both high and standard definition video
HD-SDI VANC, SD Line 21, Ethernet metadata input
Typical Applications
Digital video/audio recording and playback
Transmission of multiple video streams over low bandwidth channels to remote locations
ISR
Harris is developing the Fibre Channel Network Switch (FCNS) for the F/A-18E/F. Fibre Channel replaces and augments the older and much slower serial multiplex busses. Each aircraft requires two redundant FCNS units, which provide a total of 16 independent input and output channels. Each channel provides a 1 Gigabaud serial network link to other Fibre Channel-equipped avionics systems networked to the aircraft’s mission computer.
In addition, Harris is integrating a U.S. Navy-developed early Terrain Awareness Warning System (eTAWS) into its existing Tactical Aircraft Moving Map Capability (TAMMAC) Digital Map Computer (DMC). TAMMAC DMC, the standard digital map computer for all Navy and Marine Corps aircraft upgrades, was initially delivered to Boeing in September 1998 under a separate contract. The eTAWS enhancement will provide Super Hornet pilots with an advanced terrain awareness and avoidance system integrated with the real-time-in-the-cockpit digital map display provided by TAMMAC DMC.
Harris delivered the Fibre Channel Network Interface Controllers (NIC) used for the aircraft’s Active Electronically Steerable Scanned Array (AESA) radar. Each NIC provides a 1 Gigabaud serial network link to other AESA radar systems.
The Super Hornet is the newest version of the combat-proven F/A-18 Hornet. The aircraft is 25 percent larger than its predecessor but has 42 percent fewer parts. Both the single-seat E and two-seat F models offer increased range, greater endurance, more payload-carrying ability, more powerful engines, increased carrier bringback capability, enhanced survivability and a renewed potential for future growth.
Taking advantage of tactical VHF/UHF networks to provide critical air-to-air and air-to-ground communications. HAMR enables interoperable communications between multiple waveforms and radios including the entire Harris Falcon® family of radios by repackaging two of the Falcon III® AN/PRC-152A radios (the world’s most widely deployed, JTRS approved, Software Communications Architecture (SCA) compliant, software-defined radios) into an airborne form factor in the same SWaP as a traditional single channel airborne radio. HAMR provides similar capabilities to the planned JTRS AMF SA but is available for delivery today.
This embedment of two Type 1 certified PRC-152A-based Small Secure Data Links (SSDLs) ensures secure, encrypted, and compliant communications.
