Accent on Integration’s Accelero Connect interface enables data sharing and supports meaningful use requirements

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Accent on Integration (AOI), a leading provider of integration software and medical device connectivity solutions, today announced that Delaware Valley Hospital, in Walton, N.Y., has leveraged AOI’s professional services using Siemens OPENLink interface engine to integrate and share data with Southern Tier Health Link (STHL), a regional health information organization (RHIO).
