HIMSA Provided Technical Support for WSI Members
History and Original Intention
The WSI API is a stable and mature API that was first released in January 2012. The original intent was to create an API that could be used, without the need for support, by smaller businesses that would like to integrate their EMR system where Noah and the EMR system are located in the same premise or network. Over the years, many companies have used the API successfully in other types of environments using their own customizations.
HIMSA often receives questions in regard to “Cloud Readiness” with the WSI API. This topic is an increasingly popular topic. HIMSA strongly suggests that you review Business System Integration Options recorded presentation in order to quickly obtain a good overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the WSI API.

Example of Issues that HIMSA can provide assistance with
Provide up-to-date samples and SDK documentation.
Provide tips or answer questions to topics that are not covered in the SDK documentation. Given the fact that the API is mature, it is unlikely that a new and unique situation will occur.

HIMSA will respond to these types of questions when they are submitted to the online support system. HIMSA strives to respond to issues within 1 business day or sooner.
