Digital innovation moves faster when every new project doesn’t require a new integration burden
One of the nation’s largest academic health systems needed to connect third-party and custom digital health products within its EHR to support a growing portfolio of research projects.
Xealth gave research teams a faster path to the data they needed while reducing burgeoning system-wide demands on the health system’s IT resources.
The health system continually explores new technologies to advance healthcare research and innovation. But connecting each digital health product to the EHR independently required significant IT resources, creating a potential bottleneck as the number of research initiatives grew.
The organization needed a more scalable way to bring digital tools and research data into existing workflows without adding another one-off integration project to IT’s workload.
Using Xealth, the health system integrated third-party and custom digital health products directly into its EHR through a common integration framework.
Researchers could access relevant information within their existing environment while viewing the patient chart, without requiring the health system to independently build every connection.
This approach gave research teams a faster path to deploying new technologies while only requiring limited IT resources to support innovation at greater scale.
Some vendor integrations were completed in as little as six weeks, helping research teams move projects forward faster without placing additional integration demands on the health system’s IT department.
By replacing one-off integrations with a more scalable framework, Xealth helped the organization conserve limited IT resources while giving research teams more efficient access to relevant data within their existing environment.
