What is Custom EHR Integration & Interoperability

𝗘𝗛𝗥 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 🤔

Integration = your software + EHR → seamless data sharing.
Interoperability = systems exchange, understand & use data accurately.

One-way or two-way flows, different levels of interoperability… knowing the difference = better care coordination ✅
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗘𝗛𝗥 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

✨ Cuts manual entry
✨ Prevents duplicate tests
✨ Optimizes workflows

With standards like 𝗛𝗟𝟳, 𝗙𝗛𝗜𝗥, 𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗠 & 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗜, 𝗠𝗟, 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 – 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 & 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆! 💡

6. 4. Why Custom EHR Integration Matters
www.thinkitive.com
Standard EHRs = Limited Flexibility + Vendor Lock-In
Reduces Manual Data Entry → Cuts Admin Costs
Prevents Test Duplication → Lowers Expenses
Optimizes Workflows → Aligns with Practice Needs
