An EMS-focused clinical platform needed social and environmental data captured at every encounter and put in front of practitioners. We built the full platform in eight months. It now runs in production across a multi-company EMS network.
Walk Through the ArchitectureEMS providers and payers running prehospital care across a multi-company network.
Full platform: three-tier hierarchy, Super Admin dashboard, Patient Snapshot, scheduling with reminders, partner API layer.
Survey APIs, multi-tenant access control, appointment scheduling, automated reminders, external partner APIs, patient data management.
Live in production across a multi-company EMS and payer network. Built in eight months.
For enrolled patient populations, ER visits fell 67%. SDOH data collection is now standardized across the practitioner network through one survey system.

EMS providers and payers knew social conditions drive repeat emergencies. They had no platform to collect SDOH data at every encounter and put it in front of practitioners in a workflow that fits how EMS care is delivered.
A respiratory distress call gets symptoms, vitals and treatment on the record. The housing situation, the mold exposure and the weeks of environmental triggers before the call do not, so the pattern repeats at the next encounter.
Social, economic and environmental factors vary by patient, by geography and by the factor being measured. The survey system had to absorb that variation and stay usable for practitioners in the field.
Each EMS organization has its own practitioner roster, administrative settings and patient data. Access controls had to keep every organization's records separated on shared infrastructure.
Housing instability, substance use, environmental exposure and employment status often appear together. Their clinical significance is not the sum of each flag, so single-variable thresholds either miss real alerts or fire false ones.
We built the organizational structure first: Super Admin, Company Admin and Practitioner. Each tier sees what its role needs and nothing outside it. The hard part was the boundary between Company Admin and Super Admin access, where an organization's data ends and the platform's aggregate view begins. We defined those boundaries in the data model so they cannot drift as new companies join.
Platform operators get a live view across every organization: active companies, clinic admins by organization, practitioner counts and performance reports grouped by company. New EMS organizations are onboarded here, and Company Admin settings are adjusted from the same interface instead of separate tools.
The Patient Snapshot puts demographics, current vital signs, completed survey history and upcoming appointments on one practitioner screen. Practitioners see which social or environmental factors a patient flagged in past surveys and how that SDOH profile has changed over time. It updates continuously as new survey and appointment data arrives.
Practitioners create appointments, view the full calendar and adjust bookings inside their workflow. Notifications and reminders go to practitioners and patients before each appointment, with no manual follow-up from the care team. In a population with documented SDOH risk, a missed appointment is a delayed intervention, and delayed interventions compound into ER visits.
Practitioners and Company Admins connect to external analytics tools, payment gateways and specialized services through one integration layer. Each connection is scoped to what the partner is authorized to access. A custom build per partner turns every new EMS partnership into a net-new engineering ticket. The shared API layer prevents that.
We can walk you through how the survey data model connects to the practitioner workflow and the external analytics integrations.
