Throughput

Throughput is defined as the rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel.

In today’s densely connected healthcare IT infrastructure, the need for speed and efficient processing of HL7 messages is critical. As hospitals and physician practices become more interconnected, their HL7 interface engines begin to process a higher volume of inbound and outbound messages. As such, message throughput is one of the key metrics for evaluating any HL7 interface engine.
