Universal Data Mapping: Three Healthcare Formats, One Canvas

Convert between HL7 v2, X12 EDI and FHIR/JSON in a single visual mapper, without building an interface layer first.

Built for product teams shipping on an EHR, and deployed inside your own cloud so patient data never leaves your environment.

You #signed the hospital#. Now you have three formats.

The hospital sends HL7 v2. The payer sends X12. Your product speaks FHIR and JSON.

None of those go away. FHIR became a federal requirement under the Cures Act and the CMS deadlines land in 2027, so every team is standing up FHIR while keeping the older formats alive underneath. That means running all three at once, and the cost is not in any one of them. It is in the bridging.

Traditionally that is three different toolchains and three sets of expertise: an interface engine for HL7, clearinghouse tooling for X12, a FHIR server on top. Universal Data Mapping puts all three on one canvas, and moves that work into the interface for the team you already have.

Why this is not an #interface engine#

Three formats, one canvas. Interface engines handle HL7. Clearinghouse tooling handles X12. FHIR servers handle FHIR. Doing all three in the same visual mapper is the part that removes the toolchain, not just the code.

It deploys into your cloud, not ours. Most integration platforms pull your patient data into their multi-tenant cloud and hand you an API. ConnectHealth deploys directly into your own cloud account. It runs in private subnets with no public IPs, encrypts at rest with keys you control, and keeps a six-year immutable audit trail. PHI stays in your environment, and your security team can read every log, metric and query.

For anyone who has had an integration platform fail a security review, that is usually the whole conversation.

There is no engine to run. Workflows are exposed over an HTTP endpoint. There is no separate interface engine to license, host or staff.

What actually happens to a message

An inbound HL7 v2 message follows a fixed path, and it is worth seeing in full before you trust anything with production data:

01 TCP :2575
02 MLLP frame validation
03 HL7 v2 Parser (MSH validation)
04 Liquid Mapper
05 FHIR R4 bundle
06 cached OAuth backend
07 FHIR Create or Update
08 HL7 ACK (AA/AE)
09 audit log

The mapping layer is Liquid templates. The pre-built ones cover the common shapes, and you can edit them. This matters more than "no code" suggests: you are not locked into someone else's interpretation of how an ORU should become an Observation, and you do not need an HL7 specialist to change it.

The #limits#, stated plainly

Mapping throughput is CPU-bound, and large Liquid templates are the real ceiling rather than message volume.

End-to-end latency is set by the EHR on the other side, not by the mapper. If Epic’s FHIR endpoint takes 300 milliseconds, the round trip takes about 300 milliseconds, and no amount of tuning on our side changes that.

Above roughly 100 messages per second, the documented pattern is to buffer through a queue rather than push synchronously.

We publish these because integration decisions get made on them, and because a platform that only tells you what it is good at is a platform you will find the edges of in production.

Also in this release

01

Update now joins create, read, search and delete, alongside bulk export.

02

Security hardening.

Per-deployment admin credentials with no shared defaults, and safer embedded EHR launches for surfaces rendered inside the EHR.

03

Reliability.

Connection handling and usability improvements across the workflow builder.

Questions We Get Asked

No. Workflows run over an HTTP endpoint, and inbound HL7 v2 arrives on a standard MLLP listener. There is no separate engine to license or host.

In your own cloud account. The platform deploys into your environment, runs in private subnets with no public IPs, and encrypts with keys you control. PHI is not stored or transited by us.

270 and 271 for eligibility, 837 for claims and 835 for remittance, with pre-built mapping templates for each. Real-time eligibility runs against Stedi. Prior authorisation (278) is not a supported transaction today.

Yes. Mappings are Liquid templates and they are editable. Pre-built templates are a starting point, not a fixed schema.

The parser validates the MSH segment and returns an HL7 acknowledgement, positive or negative, so the sending system knows. Failures land in the audit log with the payload snapshot, and sensitive fields are masked.

Eleven EHR connections today, including Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks and MEDITECH. Capabilities differ per vendor. See the full list.
