Accelerate Your HL7 Projects With a Solid Data Model

Clinical interfaces cannot be completed fast enough. One of the keys to speeding up an HL7 interface project is a solid common data model. This concept often holds the key to scalable and robust interfaces, delivered on an accelerated timeline.

A well thought out, normalized, data model simplifies the actual interface code, avoids duplicated development effort and, most importantly, virtually eliminates regression errors during validation and implementation stages. Investing a bit of proactive effort into developing a common data structure pays massive dividends from the first HL7 interface. A common model separates various systems and allows for smooth migration of interfaces when a new EHR system is deployed, or additional clinical partners are added to a solution. Effort spent building out a common data model upfront contributes to more predictable, and overall shorter, interfacing projects.

NPO’s Success Story

Our experience with Northern Physicians Organization is a great example of benefits to this approach. A common, robust, data model, was at the core of this project. Hundreds of physician practices and a number of participating health systems were able to come on-line with ease and minimal effort. You can learn more about NPO’s experience in this video we recently posted. A common data model is a significant, often overlooked, way to speed up HL7 projects. We have itemized 4 more in our popular white paper – 5 Ways to Speed up Your HL7 Integration.
