The term integration is often marginalized when it refers only to a technical process. The actual technical work in any integration is a means to the end of the business and user goals.
The term integration is often marginalized when it refers only to a technical process. The actual technical work in any integration is a means to the end of the business and user goals.
Successful integrations combine two systems that add value—without complexity—for the user while meeting all stakeholders’ workflow, technical, and business needs. If any of these items is not effectively addressed from the project’s outset, the integration will fail.
The DrFirst integration team works with our electronic health records (EHRs) and other partners to identify the business, clinical, and technical vision for an integration and ensures the interoperability goals are achieved. We build solutions for the current e-prescribing, medication management, care collaboration, or telehealth problems—while ensuring integration supports future goals and growth.
