API/HL7 Integrations

Standards the rest of healthcare actually uses

E-prescriptions, laboratories, imaging centres and more are an integral part of today’s practice, and none of them are much use if your system cannot talk to them. NovoClinical supports the interoperability standards the wider healthcare system runs on:

• FHIR — the modern healthcare data standard, for structured exchange with systems that support it.
• HL7 v2 — the workhorse interface standard behind labs, imaging and hospital systems, and still how most day-to-day clinical data moves.
• CCDA — Continuity of Care Documents for referrals, transitions of care and patient data portability.

Our API documentation is published for developers and partners who need to build against the system.

The connections a practice needs day to day

• Laboratories — send orders electronically and receive results straight into the patient’s chart, with a review workflow so nothing lands unseen.
• Pharmacies — e-prescribing with drug-safety and formulary checking.
• Insurance clearinghouses and carriers — claim submission and electronic remittance advice returning into the billing module.
• Eligibility — check coverage for one patient, or run eligibility across an entire day’s schedule in bulk before anyone arrives.
• Immunization registries — submit vaccination records to your state registry.
• Imaging centres and other vendors — interfaces built around the partners you already work with.

Public health and case reporting

Reportable conditions can be transmitted electronically rather than assembled by hand. Electronic case reporting (eCR) is supported, with transmission detail you can inspect when you need to prove something was actually sent, and direct secure messaging is available for clinician-to-clinician exchange. See quality and regulatory reporting for the measures side of this.

Your data stays yours

Data export is a standard part of the system rather than a negotiation. Your clinical and financial information can be exported in structured form whenever you need it — for a report, for an audit, or one day for moving somewhere else. It is a fair question to ask any vendor, including us, and the answer should not be complicated.

Interfaces are set up during onboarding

Part of the onboarding process is working through which vendors and connections your practice actually uses, so the interfaces are in place before you go live rather than requested afterwards. Bring the list of who you work with — labs, pharmacy, clearinghouse, imaging — and we will tell you plainly what connects today and what would need building.
