A network of community clinics struggled with data fragmentation. Patient records were often stored in local silos, making it impossible for a doctor at one clinic to see the history should the patient visit another center. This led to redundant tests, delayed care, and higher costs. They needed a secure, interoperable portal that could act as a single source of truth for patient history, while being simple enough for staff in resource-constrained environments to use efficiently.

We built 'CareNet', a centralized health information exchange (HIE) portal. We implemented the HL7 FHIR standard to ensure the platform could communicate with various existing clinic software. The portal utilizes a secure, multi-tenant cloud architecture that provides doctors with a 360-degree view of patient history, including medications, allergies, and past visits. We also included a patient-facing module, allowing individuals to book appointments and view their results from any device, enhancing engagement and health literacy.
Interoperable FHIR Hub: Standardized data exchange that connects disparate EMR/EHR systems. Patient Longitudinal Record: A unified chronological view of all medical interactions across the alliance. Secure Portal for All: Role-based access for doctors, nurses, admin staff, and patients. Smart Appointment Scheduler: Centralized booking that optimizes provider time across multiple locations. Medication Reconciliation: Automated checks for potentially dangerous drug-to-drug interactions. Real-Time Lab Results: Instant notification for both providers and patients when results are ready. Phase 1: Clinical Workflow Mapping to understand the specific needs of community health staff. Phase 2: FHIR Schema Design to ensure all local data could be accurately normalized. Phase 3: Secure Identity Management setup including multi-clinic authentication. Phase 4: Portal Development focusing on speed and readability for medical staff. Phase 5: Data Migration & Cleansing for over 500,000 legacy patient records. Phase 6: On-site Training & Pilot Launch in three high-volume community centers. The implementation successfully transformed the client's operations, setting a new benchmark for efficiency and reliability in their sector. By combining cutting-edge technology with a user-centric design approach, we delivered a platform that scales with their ambition.
