TechEsperto provides HL7 and FHIR integration services for healthcare providers, digital health companies, laboratories, and payers that need clinical data to flow reliably between systems. We build and manage HL7 v2 interfaces, FHIR APIs, SMART on FHIR apps, and integration engines that connect EHRs such as Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, and eClinicalWorks with your applications. Every interface is tested, monitored, and designed for HIPAA compliance. Book a free consultation to scope your healthcare interoperability project with a clear timeline and fixed deliverables.
Our HL7 and FHIR integration services cover the full interoperability lifecycle: interface design, development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing support. Unlike staff augmentation, where you hire FHIR developers to work under your direction, these services deliver complete, managed integrations with defined scope and accountability. We work with providers, health systems, health technology vendors, laboratories, and payers, adapting each interface to the specific EHR versions, message formats, and workflows involved. Whether you need one critical interface or an enterprise integration strategy, we deliver production-ready connections.
We build ADT, ORM, ORU, SIU, DFT, MDM, and VXU interfaces for admissions, orders, results, scheduling, billing, documents, and immunizations. Message mapping and validation handle real-world variations between sending and receiving systems.
We design and implement FHIR R4 APIs exposing patients, encounters, observations, medications, conditions, and other resources. APIs follow US Core profiles and support secure, standards-based data exchange with partners and patient-facing applications.
SMART on FHIR apps launch directly inside EHRs with single sign-on and patient context. Clinicians use your application without switching systems, improving adoption among provider organizations and supporting EHR marketplace listing requirements.
We integrate with Epic, Oracle Health Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Allscripts, and other EHRs using HL7, FHIR, and vendor APIs, navigating vendor developer programs, sandboxes, security reviews, and approval processes efficiently.
We implement and configure integration engines such as Mirth Connect, Rhapsody, and InterSystems HealthShare. For Mirth-based environments, you can also hire Mirth Connect developers for ongoing channel development and support.
Managed support includes interface monitoring, alerting, error queue management, message reprocessing, and vendor coordination. Issues are detected and resolved before clinicians notice delays in orders, results, referrals, or patient information.
Healthcare interoperability depends on more than HL7 and FHIR alone. Clinical data exchange often involves document standards, terminology systems, imaging protocols, and national exchange frameworks that must work together correctly. Our integration engineers understand these standards in depth, including how vendors implement them differently in practice. This expertise prevents common problems such as mismatched codes, missing fields, and rejected messages. We map data accurately between formats, normalize terminology, and validate every interface against specifications and real sample data before go-live in production environments.
HL7 v2 remains the most widely used messaging standard in hospitals and labs. We handle segment customization, Z-segments, and version differences, while supporting HL7 v3 where legacy systems still require it.
FHIR R4 with US Core profiles is the foundation for modern healthcare APIs and regulatory compliance. We implement resources, search parameters, bulk data export, and profiles that partners and certification programs expect.
Consolidated CDA documents exchange care summaries, discharge notes, and referrals between organizations. We generate, parse, and transform C-CDA documents, extracting structured data for downstream applications, analytics, population health, and reporting needs.
Accurate interoperability requires standardized codes. We map and normalize SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD-10, CPT, RxNorm, and local codes, ensuring diagnoses, lab results, procedures, and medications retain consistent meaning across systems.
For imaging workflows, we integrate DICOM and HL7 messaging between PACS, RIS, modalities, and EHRs, enabling orders, results, and image references to flow accurately across radiology, cardiology, and clinical systems.
Every healthcare interface carries protected health information, which makes security and compliance non-negotiable. Poorly secured integrations can expose patient records, trigger breach notifications, and damage trust with provider partners. Our HL7 and FHIR integration services apply HIPAA safeguards throughout design, development, testing, and operations, and we sign business associate agreements with clients. We follow the same security principles described in our guide on how to build a HIPAA-compliant app, including encryption, access control, audit logging, and least-privilege data access.
HL7 messages and FHIR API traffic travel over TLS-encrypted connections, VPNs, or secure MLLP channels. Stored messages, logs, and data are encrypted at rest using strong, industry-standard encryption methods and managed keys.
FHIR APIs use OAuth 2.0 and SMART on FHIR authorization scopes, ensuring applications access only permitted data for authorized users and patients, with tokens, consent, and permissions managed securely and centrally.
Every message and API request is logged with timestamps, sources, destinations, and outcomes. Audit trails support HIPAA requirements, troubleshooting, partner inquiries, and security investigations without manual reconstruction of events or message histories.
Interfaces transmit only the data each workflow requires, following HIPAA minimum necessary principles. Field-level filtering and role-based access reduce exposure of sensitive information across connected systems, vendors, and partner organizations.
Healthcare integration projects succeed when requirements are precise, testing is thorough, and go-live is carefully coordinated with clinical operations. Our structured process reduces surprises by validating specifications, data mappings, and vendor requirements early. We work closely with your clinical, IT, and vendor teams, documenting every interface so it remains maintainable long after launch. Most projects move from discovery through specification, development, testing, and go-live in defined phases, with clear acceptance criteria at each step and minimal disruption to patient care workflows.
We identify source and destination systems, workflows, message types, data elements, volumes, and timing requirements. Stakeholder interviews clarify clinical and operational needs before technical specifications, scope, and timelines are finalized.
Detailed interface specifications define message structures, field mappings, terminology translations, and error handling. Mapping documents are reviewed with vendors and clinical stakeholders to prevent costly misunderstandings during development and testing.
Interfaces and APIs are built in sandbox and test environments. We coordinate with EHR vendors, manage connectivity setup, and handle vendor-specific requirements, certifications, and approval processes on your behalf from start to finish.
Unit, integration, and end-to-end testing uses realistic message samples and edge cases. Clinical users validate data accuracy in test environments, confirming results, orders, and demographics appear correctly before production deployment.
Go-live is scheduled to minimize clinical disruption, with real-time monitoring during cutover. Hypercare support resolves issues quickly in the first weeks, followed by a documented transition to ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
The cost of HL7 and FHIR integration services depends on the number of interfaces, message types, EHR vendors, data mapping complexity, testing requirements, and whether an integration engine must be implemented. A single HL7 results interface costs far less than a multi-vendor FHIR platform supporting several health systems and SMART apps. Vendor program fees and connectivity setup can also affect budgets. Organizations in the healthcare industry typically start with a fixed-scope interface project, then expand into managed integration programs.
A defined project delivers one or more interfaces with agreed specifications, test plans, validation, and go-live support. You receive budget certainty, documentation, and clear acceptance criteria for each interface delivered.
For digital health companies, we build reusable integration platforms supporting multiple EHRs and customers. Standardized connectors reduce onboarding time and cost for every new provider organization or customer you sign.
Ongoing managed services cover proactive monitoring, maintenance, vendor upgrades, new interfaces, and support. Predictable monthly costs replace the burden and risk of recruiting, training, and retaining specialized integration expertise in-house.
Experienced HL7 and FHIR engineers join your internal team to accelerate integration roadmaps, support complex vendor projects, and transfer knowledge to your staff, alongside our broader EHR software development capabilities.
Our work and story have been picked up by news outlets and databases worldwide.
As featured on
HL7 v2 is a messaging standard widely used inside hospitals for real-time events such as admissions, orders, and results. FHIR is a modern, API-based standard using RESTful web services and resources, designed for apps, cloud platforms, and data sharing. Most healthcare organizations use both, so integration often combines HL7 v2 interfaces with FHIR APIs.
Cost depends on the number of interfaces, message types, EHR vendors, mapping complexity, testing needs, and integration engine requirements. A single HL7 interface is the most affordable starting point, while multi-vendor FHIR platforms require larger budgets. We provide fixed-scope estimates after reviewing systems, workflows, and vendor requirements.
A single HL7 interface typically takes four to eight weeks, depending on vendor responsiveness and testing cycles. FHIR API and SMART on FHIR integrations with major EHRs can take two to four months, including vendor approvals and sandbox testing. Reusable integration platforms shorten timelines significantly for later connections.
Yes. We integrate applications with Epic, Oracle Health Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and other EHRs using HL7 v2, FHIR R4 APIs, and SMART on FHIR. We also help navigate vendor developer programs, sandbox access, security reviews, and marketplace requirements, which are often the most time-consuming parts of EHR integration.
They can be when built correctly. We encrypt data in transit and at rest, use secure authentication such as OAuth 2.0 and SMART scopes, log every transaction, limit data to the minimum necessary, and sign business associate agreements. These safeguards help ensure healthcare integrations meet HIPAA security and privacy requirements.
Yes. Our managed integration services include monitoring, alerting, error queue management, message reprocessing, vendor upgrade coordination, and new interface development.
