Integration and interoperability

Our digital health solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing health systems, delivered at speed to the highest security standards. 

Connected health systems 

Accessing and sharing healthcare data is vital to driving the transformation needed to make better use of limited resources and improve care delivery. Yet, fragmented systems slow down care teams, duplicate efforts, and compromise patient safety. True digital transformation requires more than just data access, it demands intelligent interoperability, connecting the right people with the right data at the right time. 

At Definition Health, our products are built to support bi-directional integration, flexibly adapting to a wide range of healthcare systems and interoperability standards. We have extensive experience working with leading EPR, PAS, and specialist third-party platforms, bridging system gaps while meeting the highest security requirements.  

Guided by our in-house integration and interoperability experts, we partner with hospital IT teams to build a digital ecosystem, enabling smoother workflows, reducing administrative burden, and creating more time for patient care. By simplifying data exchange, we help clinical teams operate efficiently, minimise errors, and focus on what matters most. 

Our approach to integration

We partner with clinical and IT teams from day one to ensure a smooth, straightforward process, with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.

Understand your environment

We start by mapping your existing digital systems, including EPRs, PAS, patient portals, and clinical workflows, to understand exactly how information flows within your hospital. 


Define the integration appraoch

Working alongside your teams, we agree the best-fit integration plan, whether through HL7, FHIR APIs, or other secure data exchange methods, based on your technical environment and operational needs.


Configure, deliver, test, and support

Our integration experts configure, test, and validate every connection before go-live. We provide support and documentation, ensuring hospital teams feel confident, supported, and fully in control.

Our technology and integration expertise

Our products are built for compatibility with a wide range of industry standards, enabling seamless interoperability with hospital systems. With native support for HL7 FHIR and extended compatibility with HL7 v2, REST, and SFTP, we ensure smooth, bidirectional data exchange with EHR systems and patient portals. Secure, real-time transmission is achieved using VPNs and the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN). For authentication, we support OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML, and OAuth standards, enabling secure Single Sign-On (SSO) via Identity Provider (IDP) integration. Together, these technologies power a secure, fully connected digital ecosystem.
