Healthfully: EHR integration with patient engagement platform

To enable smooth and efficient integrations with diverse EHR systems in the future, we redesigned specific parts of the patient management system that are connected to third-party integrations. Each integration is now an isolated service that can operate independently. This makes the whole system more fault-tolerant in case any errors occur on the part of third-party EHR platforms.

Our team also designed a stateless service that converts data from any third-party EHR solution into a format that meets the client’s requirements. And we developed an EHR system integration approach using universal low-level development templates to reduce the development time and financial resources required during future integrations.

To contribute to the client’s goal of business expansion, our experts integrated the platform with some of the top EHR systems and prepared the technological grounds and a business strategy for further integration with other EHR systems, taking into account possible challenges and opportunities.

When it comes to proper communication between systems and making sure information is displayed correctly everywhere, the Yalantis team investigated specifics of EHR system business logic and technological implementations and designed individual strategies for working with each EHR system. We also developed intermediary mechanisms for equating structures and relations in our client’s platform and third-party services.

To securely receive data from third-party EHR systems in a timely manner, we designed individual strategies for acquiring data from EHR systems that work with pull-based data requests (cloud to on-premises) and ensured compliance with HL7 and FHIR standards.

Our team also developed services for filtering and synchronizing data according to which data is retrieved and displayed correctly and without delays.

To cut development time and costs, accelerate testing, and ensure proper product testability, our team designed a testing strategy with a specific configuration for each test run, indicating the nature of the test and its creator to reduce the testing time.

We performed unit, integration, and functional testing at each stage of development to ensure the product runs smoothly when in the production environment. We came up with a testing approach that covers functional requirements common to all third-party EHR systems.

To optimize the development process, we designed development templates for low-level development processes so developers only spend time working with high-level abstracts. Yalantis built a complex approach that helps cover the unique business, technological, and end-user requirements of each EHR solution so the final product meets all of the client’s needs and works correctly.

Also, to ensure quick and cost-effective integration with new EHR systems, we created rich documentation to speed up the development process and initiated knowledge exchange with the client’s development team to ensure complete process transparency and understanding.
