Bridge data from EHRs

Connecting your Electronic Health Record system to our platform is a straightforward process that enables seamless data exchange. By exposing your BULK FHIR service, you can integrate your existing EHR with our application, allowing for efficient BULK FHIR imports. This documentation will guide you through the necessary steps to establish the connection and streamline data transfer between the systems.

Step 1: Configure Your EHR System

  1. Access your EHR system's administration or configuration settings.

  2. Locate the FHIR server configuration section.

  3. Enable the BULK FHIR export feature if it is not already enabled.

  4. Configure the BULK FHIR export settings according to your EHR system's documentation. This may include specifying the resource types to include in the export, setting up authentication and authorization, and defining any necessary filters or parameters.

Step 2: Expose the BULK FHIR Service

  1. Obtain the URL endpoint for your EHR system's BULK FHIR service. This URL will be used by our application to initiate the BULK FHIR import.

  2. Ensure that the BULK FHIR service is accessible from our platform's network. This may require configuring firewall rules or whitelisting our platform's IP addresses.

  3. Provide us with the URL endpoint for your BULK FHIR service, along with any necessary authentication credentials (e.g., client ID, client secret) or certificates.

Step 3: Initiate the BULK FHIR Import

  1. Jori will initiate the BULK FHIR import process by sending a request to the provided URL endpoint.

  2. The request will include any required authentication headers or parameters, as specified in your EHR system's documentation.

  3. Upon receiving the request, your EHR system will generate a BULK FHIR export file containing the requested resource types and data.

  4. Your EHR system will provide our platform with a URL or a set of URLs to download the exported BULK FHIR files.

Step 4: Data Import and Processing

  1. Our platform will download the BULK FHIR files from the provided URL(s).

  2. The imported data will be processed and transformed to align with our platform's data model and schema.

  3. The transformed data will be stored in our platform's database for further analysis and use within our application.

Step 5: Error Handling and Monitoring

  1. Our platform will implement error handling mechanisms to gracefully handle any issues that may occur during the BULK FHIR import process.

  2. Logging and monitoring will be put in place to track the progress of the import, identify any errors or anomalies, and ensure the integrity of the imported data.

  3. In case of any errors or issues, our platform will provide meaningful error messages and notifications to facilitate troubleshooting and resolution.
