Is Epic an EMR or EHR? Healthcare Integration for ePHI

Epic EHR Integration & Healthcare Organizations

By reducing paperwork and facilitating communication between institutions, specialists, patients, and healthcare providers, Epic Information Systems increases efficiency for healthcare organizations.

Queuing

Clarity Connect's queuing middleware ensures that healthcare records data transmits successfully to the correct endpoints. Along the way, it automatically generates notifications, alerts, and performance-tracking indicators for pertinant healthcare organizations. By persistently monitoring both the transmission and receipt of patient record data, Clarity Connect makes reliable communication a sure thing.

Security

Security is vital for those providing a HIPAA-compliant website, HIPAA portal, or hosting. With the large number of providers that could potentially have access to a single patient’s records, strict security measures are essential to prevent patient data breaches within EHR systems.

Guarding data management with multiple forms of protection throughout the transfer process ensures HIPAA compliance of patient core data, all while safeguarding patients from the potentially serious consequences of stolen healthcare information. That's why it's important to have a secure website and also HIPAA-compliant web hosting.

Benefits

Patients and doctors both benefit when a healthcare data management software solution is implemented. Patients get a better UX/UI experience when they fill out forms from home. Doctors no longer have to hire someone to perform patient information entry to get the information into their system, a step that often introduces errors. Best of all, doctors know ERM Epic-FHIR integration ensures they are protected by additional security measures to ensure patient privacy and stay within HIPAA regulations.

Standards

Health Level 7 (HL7) is defined as “a set of international standards for the transfer of clinical and administrative data between healthcare software applications—such as EMRs, EHRs, and online medical applications—used by various healthcare providers.” HL7 ensures that EHR systems operate smoothly across all platforms and institutions by facilitating the accurate transfer of information. Clarity Connect uses version 2 of HL7 and links with Epic EHR’s security API (application programming interface) to support interoperability and maintain HIPAA compliance.

Flexible Technology

By allowing for the integration of a wide range of health apps, it’s possible to create an interconnected network that can handle the changing demands of the healthcare industry. As technology advances and options like e-prescriptions, online refilling, and the use of mobile devices in clinical settings become commonplace, this level of flexibility will be necessary to ensure high-quality care for all patients. Such mobile integrated healthcare solutions include the latest telemedicine and provider video chats.

IP Blocking

Patient data management is more vulnerable when it’s in transit. Clarity Connect’s Epic integration starts with SSL encryption security to minimize the risk of interception. Popular EHR platforms with IP blocking provide another layer by shielding data from known malicious IP addresses.

By controlling how individuals and components are permitted to access specific IP addresses, Clarity effectively closes back doors that might facilitate unauthorized data acquisition or brute-force attacks.

The Right Platform

What does FHIR stand for? Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources provides a standard for moving ePHI between computer systems.

Clarity Epic EMR solutions provide technology that already includes inputs related to the medical industry, a distinction that sets it apart from other platforms. This minimizes the time it takes to set up and implement an Epic EMR integration using FHIR endpoints, providing fast access and reliable functionality without the need for lengthy customization. Epic FHIR interoperability is an excellent open API for healthcare data integration.

Clarity eCommerce with Epic EHR Security

eCommerce Built for Medical Applications

As any caregiver knows, EHR/EMR integration is different from standard eCommerce integration. While eCommerce solutions commonly manage information concerning customers and clients, they rarely deal with high-security healthcare data such as Protected Health Information (PHI). They also get by without having to securely manage information like visit notes, detailed diagnostics, patient account data, biohazardous material inventories, or used medical device statuses and corresponding health apps.

Clarity Connect ships with these and other relevant EHR/EMR fields already built into our integrated healthcare solutions, giving clients a significant leg up through reduced operational overhead and training required with the use of an Epic API integration.

Set Up for Success

Epic EMR integration for integrated healthcare information from a variety of providers improves the quality of patient care and satisfaction. Clarity has worked with clients to implement EHR solutions using Clarity Connect. Many are meeting or exceeding FDA requirements while relying doctors to access data from anywhere when providing patient engagement and care.

Tailored to Drive Business

The combination of our experienced consultants, custom telemedicine app developers, and hands-on approach can help your market strategy flourish. Clarity specializes in delivering a custom eCommerce solution that’s designed specifically to fit your unique needs when integrating Epic EMR EHR software. When customization and integration are key to your business, off-the-shelf healthcare service software and typical telemedicine app development simply won't suffice.

HIPAA-Compliant Web Development

Your PHI oversight can make or break your practice. Every healthcare app you employ needs to comply with HIPAA requirements for limiting access, tracking modifications, sanitizing data, authenticating users, and other relevant cybersecurity concerns. Mobile security and UX/UI concerts mean that you need the latest mobile integrated healthcare services available.

Staying on top of HIPAA compliance is a full-time job, and it can take valuable time away from other essential tasks. Clarity's intimate understanding of HIPAA standards ensures that admins always have the tools they need to monitor, audit, and track compliance at an organizational level. Because our healthcare software design strategies incorporate compliance middleware right from the start for doctor and patient portals, care providers get the benefit of knowing that their tools protect their patients as well as their organizations.
