Interoperability

Your pediatric EHR should connect the dots.

Pediatric care involves more than what happens in your practice. When health information is fragmented, care can slow down and your team is left filling in the gaps. Office Practicum connects your patients’ charts with providers, labs, pharmacies, registries, and other systems, keeping information flowing without adding more manual work.

WHY IT MATTERS

Pediatric care comes with a lot of connections to keep up with.

The full story can be scattered

A child’s health information may live across specialists, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and other systems. When those pieces don’t connect, your team is left tracking down what they need to see the bigger picture.

Disconnected information creates more work

When systems don’t talk to each other, information has to be requested, entered, uploaded, or tracked down manually. That takes staff time away from the work that actually needs their attention.

Better connections support better care

Interoperability isn’t just about sharing information. When a child’s care involves other providers and organizations, the right connections make it easier to coordinate care and keep everyone on the same page — all working toward the same outcome.

HOW IT WORKS

Keep patient information connected without managing it twice.

1
Bring outside records into the chart

Connect to HIEs and Carequality to find and bring in patient information from other providers and organizations, giving your team more of the patient story without relying on manual record requests.

2
Send orders out and bring results back

Bi-directional eLabs let your team send lab orders and receive results right in OP, while supported in-house lab devices can feed results directly into the patient’s chart. ePrescribing keeps communication with pharmacies connected, too.

3
Keep immunization registries in sync

Bi-directional connections with supported state immunization registries let your team send and receive immunization information right from OP. That means less logging into separate systems and entering the same information twice just to keep both records current.

4
Connect beyond your practice

Secure eFax and Direct Messaging give your team more ways to communicate with outside providers from within OP, while FHIR APIs make it possible for other healthcare technologies to securely connect and share data.

MANUAL DATA SHARING VS OFFICE PRACTICUM

Same information. A lot less chasing and re-entering.

FAQS

Making sense of EHR interoperability.

What EHR interoperability does Office Practicum support?
Close or open FAQ sections

Office Practicum supports multiple ways for pediatric practices to connect and share information, including Carequality and health information exchanges, bi-directional eLabs, bi-directional immunization registry connections, secure eFax, Direct Messaging, medical device integrations, and FHIR APIs. The goal is to keep more of that work connected to the patient chart instead of relying on separate systems and manual re-entry.
