EHR Platform Transformation

Transforming legacy application into modernized platform, enhanced by EPIC Integration & by using CI/CD and Microservices architecture.

The dilemma in healthcare industry is the tug-of-war between maintaining the current successful system and scaling it to incorporate new medical developments that are technologically advanced, intermarrying disparate systems in the health care realm and maintaining the industry compliance standards.

Our client is a five-star rated hospital who were rapidly adding technology advancement and wanted to transform / re-engineer their EHR platform from legacy application to latest technology platform. The client had a highly diversified technology stack for each of the fragmented components. Some of the fragments were built on technologies that were outdated making it hard to find skill to maintain them. The reports took 30 days to generate. The resolution of defects went into months.

MX Techies Technologies came in as a technology partner. The MVP carved was Enrollment (Provisional & Comprehensive), Clinical Chart - Patient record, Resource Management, Order Management and Episode Tracking. A seamless system was accomplished through integrations with third-party application (Like EPIC, Lab Applications, Medical Devices, Pharmacy Applications and National Agency)

Ensemble and Mirth were used as latest technology integration tools in tandem with AS400 setup. Custom scripts were created in IBM AS400 to generate HL7 standard ADT data for the EPIC Systems. TCP/MLLP was used as communication protocol to the EPIC Systems.

Meaningful Use Standard Compliance & National Agency Contribution
