  • No-code, configuration-based component setup
  • Smart legacy-system conversion tools
  • AI assistants to accelerate integration efforts

Healthy Data for Any Healthcare Initiative

Fragmented, disorganized, unreliable data is a costly barrier to better decisions whether you’re responsible for the health of individuals, populations, or organizations.

Healthy data—data that is complete, error-free, consistent, and accessible—is critical to improving outcomes. You must validate, standardize, and harmonize data to obtain accurate insights and make well-informed decisions

Health Connect is the backbone for any healthcare initiative. It provides a solid foundation and complete set of tools to optimize data quality and efficiently share healthy data.

Native FHIR Connectivity

Global regulatory and industry initiatives are accelerating the adoption of FHIR across the world. FHIR compliance is no longer optional. From patient access and prior authorization regulations to interoperability mandates and health information exchange programs, FHIR has emerged as a mandatory requirement.

Health Connect helps bridge the gap between legacy healthcare data formats and modern FHIR standards. It enables transformations from HL7 v2, CDA, and other traditional message types into FHIR resources that can be shared across repositories, applications, and ecosystems. Health Connect also integrates natively with InterSystems FHIR-as-a-Service offering, enabling data exchange via standard FHIR RESTful APIs, making it easy to support emerging use cases and regulatory requirements.

Fully Managed Cloud Platform

Health Connect is delivered as a fully managed cloud-based service. InterSystems delivers, hosts, and operates the platform so there is no need to purchase, manage, secure, scale, and maintain the infrastructure yourself.

InterSystems provides:

  • All the data center resources needed to run the solution including hosting, hardware, and network capacity
  • Ongoing maintenance of all solution components
  • 24/7/365 support including real-time monitoring
  • Seamless upgrades
  • Robust security and data protection

You can alternatively deploy Health Connect on-premises or in a private or public cloud as a self-managed solution.

One Patient, One Record Healthcare organizations rely on a wide range of systems to deliver care — from EHRs and pharmacy software to scheduling tools and billing platforms. But when each system stores patient data separately, inconsistencies, duplicate records and identity challenges can disrupt care and limit AI implementation, workflow optimization and data exchange. Recent HIMSS Market Insights research confirms that healthcare leaders recognize the strategic importance of accurate patient identity data, yet persistent issues continue to undermine progress.
