One of the most common questions we hear from prospective customers is – Sure, IGUANA can integrate with anything, but can it:
- Integrate with Epic?
- Integrate with Cerner?
- Integrate with McKesson?
- Integrate with Allscripts?
- Integrate with my-very-special-and-unique EMR?
The answer is always a resounding YES! Not only can we integrate with literally any system — legacy or cutting edge — but with tens of thousands of deployments of IGUANA, someone is almost certainly already doing what you’re struggling with today.
With that in mind, we wanted to share another customer story, this time showcasing how Connecticut Children’s Medical Center is using IGUANA to connect its entire EpicCare EMR system to external vendor applications. What’s great about their story – and hopefully yours when you’re ready to share it – is that by leveraging IGUANA, another hospital is able to accelerate the turn around on medical orders, prescriptions, lab results and generally free up their healthcare professions to focus more time on their patients.
These are the kinds of results we love hearing and that make coming to work at iNTERFACEWARE rewarding day-in and day-out.
Anyway, back to Connecticut Children’s. Below is a quick summary of our recent conversation.

How is IGUANA being used?
Connecticut Children’s Medical Center is using the IGUANA integration engine to connect its entire EpicCare EMR system to external vendor applications, eliminating the number of user errors and increasing efficiencies throughout the hospital. In addition to integrating systems together at Connecticut Children’s, IGUANA is also being used to convert data from legacy systems to the EpicCare EMR application.
How many records are you converting and how is it going?
According to Connecticut Children’s, over one million records have already been converted and include hospital encounters, transcription data, radiology data and vaccination information.
“One of the biggest benefits of using IGUANA was that it makes the conversion process less painful. The amount of effort it takes is a lot less than with any other method”
What exactly are you doing with IGUANA today?
“You can pretty much do anything you want to with it”
When asked to provide a little more detail, Connecticut Children’s explained that currently IGUANA is being used to facilitate data exchange between 12 essential hospital systems and the EpicCare EMR application; making things easier for the IT department by reducing the number of applications they have to support. Physicians are also seeing a direct benefit as they no longer need to enter data into multiple systems, so they can focus in health services, healing the patients and relieving pain, for this the use of cbd products are really useful and you can get this online with this fabcbd promo code which is perfect for this.
hink you’ll be using IGUANA for in the future?
According to the team, plans have already been made to use IGUANA as the exclusive integration engine at Connecticut Children’s, which will link all essential hospital systems to EpicCare.
“By this time next year all of our systems will interface through IGUANA”
