Integration is no longer an option in healthcare – it’s an expectation. Providers, platforms, and patients alike expect data to flow seamlessly between systems, and to be available where it’s needed. Between billing, EHR/EMR systems, scheduling and appointment setting, Healthcare CRMs, and the myriad other platforms being utilized in today’s healthcare environment, how has integration changed?

We’ll compare two popular but very different styles of integration in order to help platforms and providers alike understand the importance of choosing the right one.

The classic “integration engine” approach made popular by companies like Redox involves rigid data structures and often significant development to achieve anything other than a “standard connection”. Combined with high annual license fees and long deployments for anything outside of the predefined connections, the “integration engine” approach can leave healthcare platforms feeling frustrated as they attempt to get connected with the other vendors their customers use.

The last thing you want is for integration to become the hurdle that prevents your customers from being able to use your product.

NetDirector leverages a one-to-many style integration in the cloud, and functions as a full-service integration hub for a healthcare technology vendor. We’ll connect your endpoint once to the NetDirector hub, and then we’ll maintain connections to your trading partners. We don’t require you to change business rules or modify workflows to fit a specific schema, either – NetDirector’s integration is not only truly configurable and customizable, but also transforms, rearranges, and optionally stores your data as it passes through the NetDirector hub. Additionally, the NetDirector team will handle API version control, connection troubleshooting, and more – entirely on a low-commitment monthly subscription model.
