Service scope

Software add-on or extension
Yes, but can also be used as a standalone service
What software services is the service an extension to
Cloverleaf can be embedded in an application to provide an integration capability for that system either as a fully functioning integration engine or for data translation/transformation into industry standard message formats.
Cloud deployment model
  • Public cloud
  • Private cloud
Service constraints
In case Cloverleaf® is hosted within a VMWare environment, to protect and guarantee the service of the product the following guidelines are established.
The assigned resources of the machine are to be set to dedicated (reserved) available to the guest. In the case the Cloverleaf requires resources and the VMWare host is unable to provide these resources Cloverleaf thinks he has or the host is unable to provide the resources fast enough (with dynamic allocation) this can have a negative impact on the Cloverleaf environment.
System requirements
Multiple platforms supported, Red Hat, Centos, Windows server and AIX

Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
A new user has a number of options available to them to learn the skills necessary to run and use their Cloverleaf system.
There are a series of onsite training courses, Level 1-3 outlined below,
Cloverleaf Level 1
This four-day course provides an introduction into the concept of the communication server, an introduction to the CLOVERLEAF® graphical interface and an explanation of how connections are made. At the end of this course, the user can make connections using the graphical interface.
Cloverleaf Level 2

Cloverleaf Level 2 training is important if the hospital wishes to develop all links independently. This course provides an in-depth look at the way CLOVERLEAF® works. The course is advanced level and a follow-up to the Level I training. On completion of the course, the user is capable using scripts to realise links that cannot be created with a graphical user interface.
Cloverleaf Level 3
This course is an advanced look at the entire CLOVERLEAF® application. Students will learn to configure advanced protocols, design and implement complex message manipulation and learn the details of the CLOVERLEAF® architecture.
Comprehensive user documentation is provided as part of the product.
Service documentation
Yes
Documentation formats
  • HTML
  • PDF
End-of-contract data extraction
All message content passing into and out of Cloverleaf can be
archived to an external relational database of the user’s choice, where the data can then be accessed for any purpose the user may need, such as calculating statistical information or keeping an audit log. Messages are first cached in an embedded Raima database, from which they are periodically written out to the external database by executing SQL
statements through ODBC (JDBC in 6.0). This flushing of the cache is triggered by the monitor daemon.
The user can configure how long data is held in Cloverleaf using the SMAT file functionality.
At the end of a contract any data held in SMAT or external files would be deleted.
End-of-contract process
At the end of Contract all Cloverleaf software and any messages held in the SMAT or external SQL will be deleted and so no data will be held.
If the client is moving their integration services to another supplier at the end of the contract then Enovation would co-operate fully transition arrangements and would quote for any specific work needed.

statistics of your Cloverleaf Integration Suite environment and customizable, graphical statistical reports on Cloverleaf activity, including application and system-level statistics. Deploy these views to departmental users to enable them and free up valuable resources. With iPhone and Android app functionality, your IT staff can have monitoring

API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
Cloverleaf Integration Suite has long supported interoperability through web based APIs, but now natively supports the newest web protocols used by many of today’s top clinical system vendors eg Epic, Cerner. Cloverleaf has native support for exchanging JSON data objects communicated through REST-based web services. On top of that, JSON schemas have been developed for the HL7 FHIR standard and included them directly in the engine. With native support for the FHIR standard, anyone using the latest release will be able to pull up the definition of any and all FHIR artifacts, called resources, and build their own interfaces with the tools included right in the Cloverleaf engine.
In addition, an additional module of the Cloverleaf Integration Suite, the Cloverleaf API Gateway delivers a cost-effective solution for healthcare organisations to enable full lifecycle management of APIs, backed by the power of Cloverleaf Integration Services.
Functionality includes,
- Register, document and update APIs in a uniform fashion
- Secure APIs with OAuth2.0
- Gain visibility into utilization and performance of APIs
- Design consumer friendly proxy APIs
- Leverage Cloverleaf FHIR APIs and the Cloverleaf API
- Design your process by combining many APIs with the new API Flow Orchestration

Scaling

Independence of resources
To ensure performance levels are maintained when Cloverleaf® is hosted within a VMWare environment, to protect and guarantee the service of the product the following guidelines are established. The assigned resources of the machine are to be set to dedicated (reserved) available to the guest.
By adopting this approach Cloverleaf is able to manage through the workload peaks and troughs that may occur.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
Internal documentation tools are available for documentation. These are remotely accessible to be reviewed by peer colleagues within the company. Additional meetings with different knowledge groups are organised to keep track of the changes and steer on possible risks that might emerge.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Ongoing efforts are made to enhance the software. When new information is supplied by partners, clients, support teams or developers, a risk assessment is made by Product Management and the security office. If the risk is high, this will result in downtime until fixed. If not, the affected parties are informed when deemed necessary and fixes are added to the backlog for the next update. Updates and fixes are not tied to a strict release schedule.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Ongoing efforts are made to debug and assess the software. Internal knowledge sessions and meetings are organised to minimise the chance of overseeing defects. Once something emerges, an assessment is made to assign a time frame for a fix. In case of a large security risk, users will be informed.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
Our service goal is to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible following an incident, while minimising impact to business operations and ensuring quality is maintained.
To log an incident users either complete an Incident Logging Template and email to us or call us on a dedicated support number. This email address is monitored throughout the day and your call will be picked up immediately.
For incidents that require immediate attention and are outside office hours calls are made to the support telephone.
A summary is made of all incidents on a regular basis for performance review.

Tackling economic inequality

Cloverleaf allows for the exchange of information across large networks, meaning it has the ability to exchange information across regions - for example exchanging patient information securely between hospitals, allowing for a modernised approach to information exchange and increased productivity.

Wellbeing

Cloverleaf being an Integration Engine allows for many disparate systems to be connected together and providing the seamless exchange of information. This has a positive impact both upon clinicians and patients alike, ensuring staff are able to access the most up to date and relevant information available to carry their work and in turn provide a better quality of care to patients.
