Who is the Healthcare Services Platform Consortium?
The Healthcare Services Platform Consortium (HSPC) was founded in 2013 by Intermountain Healthcare, Louisiana State University and the Veterans Administration to refocus how healthcare applications are developed. Since HSPC launched, more than 270 contributors have joined their cause – including leading healthcare and government organizations, healthcare technology vendors and a venture-led group of investors supporting HSPC-centric portfolio companies.
As a provider-led consortium, HSPC applies the same teamwork approach to delivering quality patient care to solving the interoperability challenge. Our Consortium includes hundreds of active organizations focused on developing a healthcare services platform community that will enable an economy for interoperable applications in a SOA and knowledge-enabled model. Through HSPC’s interoperable marketplace and services platform, they seek to foster a new level of provider-vendor collaboration and innovation to meet one of the industries’ greatest needs: accelerating the creation, sharing and delivery of promising software applications at the point of care.
“HSPC’s efforts to create an interoperable HIT ecosystem are divided into a group of initiatives. Each initiative is a combination of people, projects, and resources that together help to achieve a specific aim.”

Their SOA is based on existing work done at the VA in its effort called the “SOA Suite,” which consists of IBM WebSphere/iLog/CA components that have been architected to support a highly componentized architectural model.
