Smartlink Health Solutions Information

Smartlink Health offers an Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) that has the unique ability to integrate with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems via the user interface (UI). Smartlink also supports traditional integration methods like API, HL7, and database. The healthcare industry has made great strides toward solving its data interoperability challenges, but EHR integrations remain complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Additionally, traditional “backend” integration approaches have vendor-specific limitations regarding the data that can be extracted or inserted and are further limited by providers putting data in the wrong place. What makes Smartlink unique is its ability to circumvent all the challenges of EHR integration by extracting and inserting data via the user interface (UI). Our solution, Smartlink Data Connector (SDC), has built-in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) capabilities designed to handle the complexities and behaviors of EHRs. The software logs into an EHR system just like a remote user. From there, it can do anything a user can – insert or extract virtually any type of data, such as documents, discrete data elements, chart notes, images, scheduling, internal messages, tasks, etc. For example, discrete data such as diagnosis & medications that are available in the HIE but not in the EHR can be added to an upcoming EHR encounter, including a progress note with details. SDC bypasses the limitations of vendor-specific interpretations of interoperability standards, leaves a complete audit trail of the data accessed, and eliminates the need for EHR vendor involvement. SDC also requires no involvement from clinic staff or IT department. If you need a fast and secure way to extract EHR or other system data at scale, or if you’re a solution vendor who shares our vision and values, let’s discuss how we can align to facilitate better clinical and financial outcomes through system integration and process automation.
