I am using EHRConnect to integrate our healthcare application with multiple EHR systems.

EHRConnect cut our EHR integration development time from six months to two weeks per hospital. Our small development team can now handle multiple hospital integrations simultaneously using the pre-built workflow templates. This accelerated our go-to-market significantly.

The most valuable features include the visual workflow builder, which allows non-developers to understand and modify integrations. The agentic workflow library provides pre-built templates for common scenarios such as patient data synchronization, which saved weeks of development. Smart on FHIR and HL7 support enables compatibility with both modern and legacy EHR systems.

There could be more documentation for advanced customization scenarios. Additional pre-built workflows for specialty-specific use cases such as cardiology and oncology would be helpful. Better real-time debugging tools for troubleshooting live integrations would be beneficial. In the next release, features like a built-in HL7 message simulator for testing, more granular audit logging, and workflow version control with rollback capability are expected.

We evaluated building custom integrations in-house. We switched because maintaining separate codebases for Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth was unsustainable. EHRConnect's unified platform reduced our technical debt.

It is important to factor in the setup fee upfront. The monthly tier pricing is fair. We are on the $8,000/month tier, which allows up to five integrations and is still 60% cheaper than maintaining custom integrations with dedicated engineers. I calculate ROI based on developer time saved.

We evaluated building custom integrations in-house. EHRConnect's unified platform reduced our technical debt. We also looked at Redox and Mirth Connect. We chose EHRConnect for its better AWS integration, as we are already on AWS, a more modern visual workflow builder, and ready-made templates instead of starting from scratch.

EHRConnect is great for healthtech startups or hospitals needing multi-EHR connectivity. The support team is responsive. Setup took two weeks, including AWS infrastructure provisioning. I recommend starting with one to two hospital pilots before scaling up.

I use EHRConnect to integrate our healthtech platform with Epic using the SMART on FHIR framework. It handles secure authentication, patient data exchange, and clinical workflow automation.

EHRConnect helped us connect with Epic faster and with less engineering effort. What used to take weeks for setup and testing now takes just a few days. It has made our Epic integrations smoother and more reliable.

The built-in SMART on FHIR and OAuth support for Epic, ready-to-use FHIR APIs for patient, observation, and encounter data, and the easy-to-deploy sandbox environment for quick validation are highly valuable. The complex HL7v2 transformers built in have also simplified interoperability for our healthtech applications.

A visual dashboard for API monitoring and better error handling during data syncs would make it even more developer-friendly.

I have used the solution for 6 months.

We previously used custom Epic FHIR integrations but moved to EHRConnect for its ready architecture, scalability, and faster go-live process.

The setup cost was fair considering the time saved on Epic certification and integration maintenance. It is ideal for healthtech companies building Epic-connected apps. Other competitors were five times more expensive and also charged a huge amount for custom implementation.

We considered Redox but found EHRConnect simpler, more cost-effective, more flexible, and better suited for our cloud-native setup.

EHRConnect has been a great enabler for our interoperability needs with Epic. It has helped our product team focus more on care workflows rather than complex integrations.
