<div>'''Interfaces''' are connections between two systems. [[ConnectR]] is the interface management and monitoring tool of choice for Allscripts implementations. An example of an interface would be the data flowing from a scheduling system into Allscripts.<br />
<br />
A single interface consists of both a source and target system. Each interface uses a map to define where to put incoming data on the way back out. Additionally translation tables can be used to map more than one value to a single output value.<br />

==Interface Engine Purchasing Considerations==<br />
#'''Installation''' - How easy is the engine to install? Is there a migration path from your existing interface engine?<br />
#'''Usability''' - How intuitive is the user interface? Does it offer the capability of both GUI and code programming of interfaces?<br />
#'''Performance''' - What is the throughput of the interface engine, i.e. how many messages does the interface process per minute for a given fan out?<br />
#'''Reliability''' - Does the engine have 24X7 operation? What are typical causes/estimates of downtime?<br />
#'''Scalability''' - Is this engine built to support increases in throughput? What is the nominal number of interfaces it can support without performance degradation?<br />
#'''Configurability''' - Does the interface engine allow for customization and extensions to be carried out by the customer or 3rd party resources, without vendor involvement?<br />
#'''Target Market''' - Does the vendor have a primary focus on health care?<br />
#'''Support''' - Does the vendor offer 24X7 support? Is the support model included in the costs of the interface engine? Are there different tiers of support?<br />
