Our Client
FHIR provides a standardized framework for exchanging data, making it easier for developers to build and integrate health information systems. Patients gain greater control over their health data and can share it with their healthcare providers.
Health tech companies needed to update and adapt their systems to comply with evolving regulatory requirements. For example, the ONC Cures Act Final Rule requires certified electronic health record technologies (CEHRTs) to update and provide their customers with fast healthcare interoperability resources (FHIR) API capabilities by December 2022.
AdvancedMD, a Utah-based health tech company, managed two separate Apigee organizations after being acquired by Global Payments, which was costly. The mix of published and unpublished application programming interfaces (APIs) prevented a cohesive and efficient data-sharing environment. The company’s data was in non-FHIR formats, which was a problem as well.
To address these issues, AdvancedMD partnered with SoftServe to introduce FHIR capabilities while keeping their existing backend technologies and infrastructure intact. SoftServe brings expertise in data sharing, API security, and FHIR standards.
THE GOALS
- Migrate to the merged Apigee organization.
- Standardize the structure of API requests for third-party vendors
- Maintain compliance with FHIR regulations
THE PROJECT
To ensure transparency and client engagement, the team held an information session on the Apigee HealthAPIx accelerator. After this informative session, the project was officially started.
