Real-Time Epic Integration for an AI Labor and Delivery Platform, Powered by ConnectHealth

An AI-powered clinical decision support platform for Labor and Delivery needed real-time Epic data across more than 300 clinical data points, feeding providers, charge nurses, and predictive models. The original integration was built fully custom. Here is how ConnectHealth's interoperability layer would support that same workflow: FHIR and HL7 exchange, normalization, and event-driven sync, without a one-off build for every data type.

AI-powered clinical decision support for Labor and Delivery

Scope

Real-time Epic integration: FHIR and HL7 exchange, data normalization, event-driven sync across 300+ clinical data points

Stack

SMART on FHIR, FHIR resources, HL7v2/ADT, ConnectHealth, AWS customer-owned VPC

Status

ConnectHealth capability analysis (the delivered integration was fully custom)

Outcomes

A Reusable Interoperability Foundation, Without the Custom Build

The original engagement used a fully custom Epic integration rather than ConnectHealth. Applied to this workflow, ConnectHealth's platform would change three things:

  • Less custom integration engineering for EHR authentication, FHIR and HL7 exchange, clinical data normalization, and real-time synchronization.
  • More engineering time for clinical workflows, predictive models, risk intelligence, and provider experience.
  • A scalable path to extend the platform across additional hospitals and EHR environments without rebuilding the integration layer each time.
The Problem

One Integration Layer, Everything Above It Depends On

Patient safety in Labor and Delivery left no room for a shaky data layer.

01
300+ Clinical Data Points, Moving in Real Time

The platform depended on more than 300 clinical data points moving reliably between Epic and the application during active Labor and Delivery workflows.

02
Every Data Type Had to Stay in Sync

Patient demographics, vitals, labor progression, encounters, clinical conditions, and delivery outcomes all had to remain synchronized in real time.

03
The Integration Layer Was the Foundation for Everything Above It

AI-based delivery predictions, automated SBAR handoffs, patient-status notifications, risk alerts, and unit-wide operational dashboards all depended on that same layer.

04
No Margin for Sync Failure

Any latency, mapping inconsistency, or synchronization failure could directly affect the workflows relying on that data.

The ConnectHealth Approach

How ConnectHealth Would Support the Integration

Bidirectional Epic Data Exchange

Reusable FHIR and HL7v2 integration patterns support bidirectional movement of clinical data between Epic and the application, without a separate custom integration layer for every data type.

  • FHIR resource normalization into Patient, Observation, Encounter, and Condition before data reaches the clinical application or AI pipeline.
  • Less one-off transformation logic and a more consistent data foundation for downstream systems.
  • HL7/ADT event handling as the backbone for admissions, status changes, transfers, and related events.
  • Application-wide updates that trigger automatically as those events fire.
