Interfaces and Interoperability
Connecting Healthcare Through Interoperability
Request a Custom Development Quote
We start with the premise that connections matter. Interoperability is the core of everything we do and it defines how we approach our work. We believe that disconnected systems directly impact workflow, performance, decision making and ultimately; healthcare outcomes. Our objective is to have the right data, at the right time, in the right place every time. Whether you are transferring data from one EMR to another, delivering data to a patient portal or kiosk or connecting devices to an EHR, we specialize in the connections that make interoperability work.

Healthcare APIs
You need a secure and reliable way to connect with all the various data points within today’s complex healthcare environment. It won’t hurt to have a flexible architecture that allows you to quickly adapt to changing regulations and mandates. Keena can help. We’ve connected pretty much everything that can be connected in healthcare for both clinical and financial systems.

“
A few years ago, we made the decision to migrate all of our interfaces from ConnectR to Qvera Interface Engine (QIE). Working closely with EHR Integration Services, we migrated most of our ConnectR interfaces in 3-months, including the addition of 2 new clinical applications. We feel like we have control of our IT strategy again!”

FHIR OPS
Fueling the Next Generation of Interoperability
If you haven’t heard about FHIR yet, you will. This is the new information sharing standard poised to replace HL7. FHIR, or “Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources,” promises to be the next disruptive force in healthcare, creating opportunities to develop new applications while providing access to information like never before.
Imagine mobile and desktop apps that seamlessly share information among patients, practices, hospitals, health systems and payers to create an ecosystem that empowers everyone involved in the healthcare system.
Based on the FHIR standard, we have developed a SaaS offering that allows you to connect to any EHR through a single interface: FHIR Ops. FHIR Ops is an interoperability platform that takes all the hard work of integrating your application into virtually any EHR or PM system.
Think of FHIR Ops as an API on steroids, allowing you to access any EHR quickly and easily so that you can focus on what you do best; developing and supporting your applications.
Future
Friendly
FHIR Ops gives you a sophisticated data access redundancy strategy. This granular control gets wrapped up in an easy-to-consume API that is already positioned where FHIR will be in 2-3 years.
Using intelligent data source routing algorithms helps future-proof your integration. As more FHIR resources become stable, they’ll be prioritized over using each EMR vendor’s proprietary APIs or direct database calls.
Mobile
Friendly
As consumers become more accustomed to real-time notifications and immediate access to information online and on their mobile device, healthcare providers need to keep pace.
Through FHIR Ops, we can reach the busy lives of our customers and provide value with services like Direct Patient Scheduling, Care History Access and Online Messaging to keep patients and providers connected no matter where they are.
Upgrade
Friendly
Data variation means huge overhead for everyone involved, from analysts and developers to patients and providers, obscuring the already complex path to improving a patient’s health. FHIR Ops allows you to keep data stable while still progressing on the innovation and services front.
Custom Development
Sometimes there’s no way around it, you just need a custom application, and Keena would love to build it for you. If you have an idea or a specific need that isn’t met by your EHR or off-the-shelf applications, then connect with us and we’ll build a solution that will exceed your expectations. We do it all the time.

INTEROPERABILITY
Why We Decided to Invest in a FHIR Response Plan
We’ve taken a hard look at FHIR and realized that it is at least 2-3 years away from being useful. FHIR Ops takes the best parts of the FHIR spec, and implements a data access redundancy strategy based on current options for a specific EMR.
