EMR Integrations

IRIS Provides integration services to on-premise and SAAS (cloud based) EMR/EHR platforms.

On Premise EMR/EHR systems

See Technical Architecture Diagram for an illustration of how the IRIS system fits within your network.

There are two basic components to an on-premise integration:

Transport - Software / Networking components that provide the path between IRIS and the target EMR/EHR
Content - Data that is passed between the systems

The primary piece of software that supports Transport is the IRIS EMR Proxy application. Content is encoded as HL7 messages.

Integration to On-premise systems require use of the IRIS EMR Proxy application.

IRIS EMR Proxy application

IRIS is a SAAS service hosted in the Azure cloud environment. In order to provide secure integration to your on-premise system the EMR Proxy application must be installed on a Windows application server (or virtual) connected on the same Intranet where your EMR/EHR resides. The EMR Proxy provides a secure path between your integration engine and IRIS cloud services.

Details can be found at IRIS EMR Proxy Application Requirements and Specifications

Cloud based EMR/EHR systems

Cloud based EMRs have unique integration requirements involving the provider but can typically be setup quickly.

Examples of Cloud EMR systems include: Athena, OCHIN and ECW. Details can be found at Cloud EMR/EHR Providers.
