MARKET RELEVANCE

The platform has taken a unique niche and empowered EHR systems with the ability to interoperate securely and fast without building additional code for integration.

IMPLEMENTATION

After a kick-off meeting, the team comprised of a solution architect, business analyst, Java software engineers, and a project manager set out to test potential EHRs. The business analyst devised a general scenario for creating a request:

  • Provider finds the patient in Epic EMR and opens the app from EMR
  • The platform is launched and the patient profile opened with data gained from Epic EMR
  • Provider searches for an appropriate specialist to make a referral
  • The specialist gets the referral request in иapp, checks for an opening in the receiving EMR, and confirms the referral request in the platform
  • The provider is notified about the referral request confirmation in the app
  • The platform requests receiving EMR to check for existing patients
  • In case there is no existing patient there, the platform pushes patient data to the receiving EMR
  • Receiving EMR creates patients based on patient data from the platform
  • The platform pushes referral request data to the receiving EMR to create an appointment
  • Receiving EMR creates an appointment with the appropriate status

The solution architect refined the high-level architecture for the platform so that it complies with the HIPAA standard. The new architecture enabled data encryption, smooth transferring of records between EMRs, and enabled interoperability as such.
