Description

Product Description:

Smartlink Data Connector (SDC) is an Integration Platform as a Service that exchanges data bidirectionally with electronic health record’s (EHRs) via the user interface. It works with any operating environment (SaaS, hosted, on-premise), and can insert or extract virtually any type of data, including documents, images, notes, discrete data, and messages. SDC eliminates the need to work with EHR vendors, and implements much faster than traditional approaches to EHR integration.

Use Cases

Description:

CLINICALLY INTEGRATED NETWORKS: In addition to the time and cost barriers associated with working with EHR vendors, one of the biggest challenges that CIN’s face is the depth and quality of data exposed via API. For our CIN clients, we typically start with a CCDA and then supplement with data that is missing, incomplete, or not available in the CCDA. Supplemental extractions may include detailed labs, family history, past medical/surgical history, social history, appointments, referrals, provider actions, images, assessment results. We also ext.ract scheduling, claims, and other information that may only be available in the practice management system.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Using our innovative technology and approach, we free data from the constraints of innovation-blocking business models, expensive interfaces, and vendor-specific interpretations of interoperability standards. 


When it comes to integrations with small physician practices in particular, one of the biggest barriers is the time and cost associated with working with EHR vendors and their pay-to-play interfaces. SDC completely eliminates the need for EHR vendor involvement. As a result, we decrease integration timelines by at least fifty percent on average and also eliminate the costs of these interfaces, which can range up to $25,000 for ambulatory EHRs.


Additional benefits of our approach can be summarized as follows:


LEVEL OF EFFORT



  • As mentioned above, there is no EHR Vendor involvement, which eliminates the associated level of effort for clinics and CIN’s and accelerates the integration process tremendously.  



  • The only effort on the clinic side is providing credentials. After that, we do all the work and there is essentially zero effort by the clinic.


SPEED



  • SDC integrations take a fraction of the time required with API/HL7/CCDA based integrations.


BREADTH and DEPTH



  • SDC works with virtually any EHR, regardless of operating environment, including on premise, SAAS, and hosted systems.



  • Interpretation of interoperability standards are highly variable across EHR vendors, resulting in a wide disparity in the data that is accessible as well as the quality of data via those interfaces. Because SDC leverages the UI, SDC takes advantage of interoperability standards, but is not limited by them. SDC goes beyond the CCDA and can extract discrete data, diagnostic images, assessment screenings such as PHQ’s, family medical history, chart notes, etc..


TRANSPARENCY



  • The clinic has a complete audit trail of all data that has been shared via the native audit of the EHR.


PROVEN



  • Experience with over 70 EHRs and growing.



  • Ability to insert data back into the clinical workflow, such as inserting documents and discrete data or creating tasks, alerts, and messages.


Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

b.well Connected Health distinguishes itself from traditional EHRs by centering on a unified consumer experience, facilitating health systems' progression towards value-based care, and adopting hybrid care models. This unique approach fosters lifelong loyalty between organizations and their communities. b.well's integration of Longitudinal Health Data, encompassing HIPAA-compliant claims, and PROA insights, is remarkable. Utilizing an optimized FHIR server, b.well delivers fast, cost-effective scalability and performance. It simplifies data conversion with pre-built FHIR mapping and refinement tools while providing real-time data streaming for flexible integration.

b.well's tag-based FHIR security mode enhances customer trust through explicit consent and preference gathering, and its efficient identity management system ensures secure user data access. In addition, personalized communication is enabled through machine learning analyses of health records and preferences, and Natural Language Processing is utilized for user-friendly care searches. b.well also customizes care access protocols and employs FHIR-based dynamic questions to streamline data collection, improving care coordination. Finally, advanced clinical rules (CQL) enhance quality measure accuracy, flexibility, and interoperability, reflecting b.well's commitment to transforming population health.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Consumers, especially in the digital era, primarily expect two things from healthcare: prompt accessibility (the digital front door) and anticipatory communication about their health needs.

The notion of having timely access to services emphasizes a simplified and efficient healthcare experience. However, this sector remains fragmented for consumers, who anticipate an experience similar to travel booking. The digital front door encapsulates consumers' expectations for digital, convenient healthcare access that suits their lifestyle, such as online scheduling and automated pre-check-in processes.

Yet, digital front door solutions largely overlook the anticipatory aspect of understanding and meeting consumer needs. Many people are unaware of the exact timings for routine health procedures like tetanus boosters. This lack of awareness is not due to disinterest but due to the absence of the necessary tools that enable proactive health management. With access to consumer data, healthcare providers can automate proactive communication, reminding individuals about their need for health screenings, vaccinations, or disease-specific tests, like the A1C for those with diabetes.

Consumers can follow basic prompts if alerted about their healthcare needs, and these reminders should be delivered to the family member most likely to arrange appointments. We can promote improved health outcomes and preventive care by offering timely, relevant communication.
