From Manually Re-Keyed Orders to Automated HL7 Connectivity Across Every Hospital EHR

A medical device company selling a cellular-enabled diagnostic patch was onboarding a new hospital roughly every week, but none of them were connected: orders were re-keyed by hand, and results came back outside the patient chart. We built an HL7 v2 integration layer on AWS that connects the device to Epic, Meditech, and Cerner, so orders and results move automatically and the next hospital is a configuration exercise, not a rebuild.

Customer Focus

A medical device company selling a cellular-enabled diagnostic patch for at-home sleep monitoring, sold into hospital systems, sleep labs, specialty clinics, and primary care practices.

Scope

An HL7 v2 integration layer connecting hospital EHR order and result flow into the client's platform, built for Epic, Meditech, and Cerner.

Stack

Node.js, AWS, HL7 v2 over MLLP/TCP, REST API

Status

Live in production, onboarding new hospitals on a repeatable configuration pattern.

The Problem

Every Hospital Order Meant Re-Entry, and Results Never Landed in the Chart

The device solved connectivity in the field: it collects data at the patient's home and sends it back over its own cellular radio, no pairing, no app, no clinic gateway required. It stopped one system short at the hospital. A physician ordering a study entered it once in the EHR and again in the device's own system, and a completed result did not land in the chart automatically. That was survivable with two hospital customers. It does not survive onboarding a new one every week.

01
A middleware vendor sitting inside the client's own customer relationship

Hospital connectivity ran through a third-party middleware product, so someone else owned the workflow that mattered most to the client's customers.

02
No capacity for the part that isn't engineering

Every hospital integration means a separate IT department, security review, and network configuration, and the client had one technical decision-maker carrying all of it.

03
Integrations that don't repeat

Epic, Meditech, and Cerner each format HL7 differently, and individual hospitals vary inside those systems, so a connection built for hospital one doesn't clone to hospital two.

What We Built

An HL7 v2 Integration Layer Built for Repeatable Hospital Onboarding

Order Intake and Results Delivery

Orders placed in the hospital EHR arrive as HL7 ORM^O01 messages and create the study directly in the client's system, removing manual re-entry. When the study completes, the result returns to the EHR as an MDM^T02 document message carrying the PDF, landing where the clinician already works. Every message in and out is parsed, validated, and logged, and a test simulator exercises the full order-to-result path before any hospital traffic touches the system.

  • Automated order intake: HL7 ORM^O01 messages create the study directly, no manual re-entry
  • Results delivered into the patient chart as MDM^T02 document messages carrying the PDF
  • Message validation and full transaction logging on every message in and out
  • Pre-production validation through a test simulator before hospital traffic goes live
