Whether building an application or using one, every piece of the health ecosystem needs Rhapsody as a foundation. 

Most people will not ever see our products (that's how infrastructure works) and services during a medical visit. Our solutions run behind the scenes, and you can think of them as the central nervous system helping to move data to accelerate innovation and improve outcomes.
