Built for Software Vendors
Your customers are asking for FHIR endpoints, openEHR support, or integration with systems your product was not originally designed to connect with. Adding interoperability to an existing product is harder than it looks. We have done it many times.
The problem with adding interoperability later
Most healthcare software was built to solve a specific clinical or administrative problem, not to be interoperable. When the market starts demanding standards compliance, vendors face a common set of challenges that are harder to fix than they appear.
A data model not designed for standards
FHIR and openEHR have specific ways of representing clinical data. If your internal model does not align with them, every integration requires a custom mapping — and mappings accumulate technical debt.
Integration work that never ends
Without a proper integration architecture, each new customer connection becomes a one-off project. The team spends more time building integrations than building the product.
Compliance that is hard to verify
Saying you support FHIR R4 is not the same as implementing it correctly. Customers run their own validation, and gaps in conformance become blockers during procurement.
How we help
We design integration strategies and data mapping architectures that extend your product without requiring a full rebuild. We have worked with vendors at different stages of this process — from early design to fixing a live implementation that is not passing conformance.
Data Mapping & Migration
We map your existing data models to the structures required by FHIR, openEHR, or HL7. This includes identifying semantic gaps, designing transformation rules, and validating that the output conforms to the target specification. We also handle data migrations when the internal model needs to change.
Standards Implementation
We implement openEHR, FHIR, HL7 v2, CDA, and DICOM. If your product needs to expose a FHIR API, validate openEHR templates, or exchange HL7 messages, we can design and implement the standards layer — or review and correct an existing one.
API & Integration Architecture
We design the integration layer that sits between your product and the systems it needs to connect with. This includes API contracts, message formats, authentication patterns, and error handling strategies — designed so that adding new connections does not require a new bespoke project each time.
System Integration
When a customer requires your product to connect to their EHR, LIS, PACS, or other clinical system, we design and implement the connection. We work across the full integration stack: protocol, message format, data mapping, testing, and validation.
Tools and platforms you can build on
Beyond consulting, we have software products that vendors have built on or integrated with. Atomik provides a standards-based clinical data layer that removes the need to implement openEHR and FHIR from scratch. The openEHR Toolkit provides a complete workbench for managing openEHR artifacts. Both are available for integration, OEM, or whitelabeling.
