Healthcare integration engines standardize data flow across disparate clinical data systems—like EHRs and revenue cycle management software—to improve workflows, optimize the delivery of care, and streamline the integration and adoption of new technologies. Healthcare integration engines facilitate the exchange of clinical, financial, and operational data, creating transparency and visibility across health care systems and hospital IT applications. Leveraging clean, normalized sets of data, healthcare integration engines provides a comprehensive view of patients to clinicians, medical professionals, and businesses that sell directly to healthcare delivery organizations.
To qualify for inclusion in the Healthcare Integration Engines category, a product must:
Connect to EHRs and other sources of patient health information and facility data
Provide interoperability between health care systems
Capture, exchange, store, and provide access to data via APIs or other web service technologies that adhere to Fast Healthcare Interoperable Resource (FHIR) or Health Level Seven International (HL7)
