Integration Strategy

Integration Strategy

Objective: Technical deep dive for CIO, IT, and EHR Interface teams.


TL;DR: Integration Approach

  • Philosophy: "Read-Only First" to minimize risk.
  • Standard: FHIR R4 / HL7 v2 via interface engine.
  • Burden: Minimal IT lift; we provide the adapters.

1. Phase 1: Read-Only Surface

We request access only to specific FHIR resources needed for the CVD Agent:

  • Patient (Demographics)
  • Observation (Labs, Vitals)
  • Condition (Problem List)
  • MedicationRequest (Active Meds)

2. Pre-Production Testing Plan

  • Synthetic Data: We validate against synthetic patients first.
  • Connectivity Test: Verify auth flows (SMART on FHIR) without touching PHI.
  • Data Mapping: Validate terminology codes (LOINC, RxNorm, SNOMED).

3. Phase 2: Write-Back Gates

Write-back (e.g., placing orders, updating notes) is strictly gated.

  • Gate 1: Technical success in read-only phase.
  • Gate 2: Clinical governance approval of autonomy boundaries.
  • Gate 3: IRB approval for interventional study.
