What types of Healthcare Data Integrations services does Data InterOps provide?
Bridging the Gap: Streamlining Data Exchanges Between Healthcare Applications & Systems
Healthcare Data Integration services play a crucial role in connecting disparate data sources and enabling seamless communication among various healthcare applications and systems. These services help improve patient care, streamline workflows, and enhance decision-making processes.
Below are a few types of Healthcare Data Integration that Data InterOps can help you with​:​
​
-
Electronic Health Record (EHR) Integration​​​​
Connects EHR systems with other healthcare applications like Practice Management Systems (PMS), Lab Information Systems (LIS), Radiology Information Systems (RIS), and Pharmacy Management Systems for comprehensive patient record.
​
-
Health Level 7 (HL7) Integration
HL7 is a set of international standards for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information. HL7 integration services ensure data is exchanged correctly and securely between healthcare systems. These standards provide a framework for structuring and transferring electronic health information in a consistent and interoperable manner. There are different versions of HL7 standards, with HL7 v2.x and HL7 v3 being the most common.
​
-
Health Information Exchange (HIE) Integration
HIE Integration helps connecting various healthcare organizations, providers, and systems to enable secure and efficient sharing of patient health information. HIEs act as a central hub, facilitating the exchange of patient data between participating entities, such as hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies, and insurance companies.
​
-
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
EAI services help integrate and combine enterprise applications, such as EHR, PMS, LIS, RIS, Patient portals, Billing, and Scheduling systems along with ERPs, CRMs, SCMs, BI & Analytics for a unified view of data and processes.
​
-
​Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Integration
FHIR integration services enable healthcare organizations to connect and share data using RESTful APIs and leveraging modern web technologies, such as HTTP, JSON, and XML, to enable a more efficient and flexible approach to healthcare data exchange.
​
-
Application Programming Interface (API) Integration
APIs allow different software applications to communicate with each other, enabling seamless data sharing between healthcare systems based on different protocols, standards, and technologies, including SOAP, REST, XML, and JSON, depending on the specific use case and requirements that cannot or do not use FHIR standard.
​​
-
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) Integration
IoT devices, such as wearables and remote patient monitoring systems, generate large amounts of health data. IoT integration services help collect, process, and analyze this data for improved patient care and decision-making.
​
-
Social Media, Messaging, and Telehealth Integration
This Integration service helps engage patients through popular social media platforms, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
They utilize messaging platforms, such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, for efficient patient communication and appointment reminders.
In addition to the above they also support virtual consultations and expand the reach of healthcare services by integrating telehealth platforms.
​
-
Data Warehousing and Analytics Integration
Aggregating and Integrating data from various healthcare sources into a central data warehouse, enabling advanced analytics and reporting. Organizations gather, store, and analyze data from multiple sources to derive actionable insights and make data-driven decisions for Population Health Management, Clinical Decision Support, Financial and Operational Analytics, Patient Satisfaction and Quality Improvement and Research and Innovation.
​
-
Master Data Management (MDM) Integration
MDM services focus on creating a single, accurate, and consistent view of data across multiple healthcare systems, improving data quality and integrity using tools like Informatica MDM and IBM InfoSphere etc.

What are some basic types of Healthcare Data that Data InterOps recommends Integrating?
​Unifying the Essentials: Integrating Diverse Healthcare Data for Enhanced Patient Care
At Data InterOps we believe that it is crucial to understand the most common types of healthcare data that require integration across clinical and non-clinical systems. Here are some examples explained in simple terms:
​
-
Patient Demographics: Basic patient information like name, age, gender, address, and contact details. Integrating this data ensures consistency across all systems and helps avoid duplicate records or errors.
-
Medical History: Information about a patient's past medical conditions, surgeries, allergies, medications, and family history. Sharing this data among healthcare providers helps them make informed decisions about patient care and treatment plans.
-
Encounter Data: Details of each patient visit, including date, time, reason for the visit, diagnoses, and procedures performed. Integration enables better coordination among various departments and providers involved in a patient's care.
-
Laboratory Results: Test results from various labs, such as blood tests, imaging studies, and pathology reports. Integrating this data allows healthcare providers to access results quickly and make timely decisions about patient care.
-
Medication Data: Information about medications prescribed to a patient, including dosage, frequency, and duration. Sharing this data helps prevent medication errors and potential drug interactions.
-
Billing and Insurance Data: Financial information related to patient care, including billing codes, insurance details, and payment records. Integrating this data streamlines the billing process and helps identify potential fraud or billing discrepancies.
-
Appointment Scheduling: Data about patient appointments, including dates, times, and provider information. Integrating this data across systems enables efficient scheduling and helps reduce appointment conflicts or double bookings.
-
Clinical Notes: Narrative descriptions of a patient's visit, written by healthcare providers. Integration of clinical notes facilitates information sharing and helps maintain continuity of care across multiple providers.
-
Care Plans and Guidelines: Information about recommended care paths, best practices, and evidence-based guidelines for specific conditions. Sharing this data ensures that all healthcare providers are following the same standards and protocols for patient care.
-
Patient-generated Data: Information collected from patient devices like wearables or remote monitoring systems, including vital signs, activity levels, and medication adherence. Integrating this data helps healthcare providers monitor patient progress and adjust care plans accordingly.
​
By integrating these types of data across clinical and non-clinical systems, hospitals and clinics can provide better patient care, reduce errors, and streamline workflows.
