MuleSoft has created accelerators for healthcare known as ‘Healthcare Catalyst’ that include pre-defined APIs with a recommended architecture to help IT teams integrate core systems of record. The various key components of the accelerator include:
System Layer – System APIs provide seamless connectivity to EMRs/EHRs and other core systems of record while providing insulation from any interface changes that happen on the core system of record. The assets include:
- Salesforce Implementation Template – Used to expose data from patient management system like Salesforce Health Cloud, via a set of RESTful Services
- EHR Implementation Template – Similar to the Salesforce Health cloud, this template provides access to data from EMRs like Epic, via a set of RESTful Services
- Fitbit Implementation Template – The template provides APIs to access fitness data from wearable devices like Fitbit
Process Layer – Process APIs separate business processes that interact with source systems. The assets include:
- Patient Onboarding Process – The Anypoint template enables patient onboarding via different channels like a mobile app
- Patient Appointment Process – This template enables appointment scheduling via channels like a mobile app
- EHR to CRM Sync Process – This template enables synchronization between EHR and Patient Management Systems like Salesforce Health Cloud
- Fitness Data Sync Process – This template enables fitness data synchronization with Patient Management Systems like Salesforce Health Cloud
- HL7 Event Handler – It enables patient and observation records via HL7 from EMR to Patient Management Systems like Salesforce Health Cloud
Experience Layer – These APIs enable data to be reconfigured so that the intended audience can consume it easily. The assets include:
- Web Portal Experience APIs – API implementation for patient onboarding, appointment scheduling, patient 360, and device connectivity use cases
- Salesforce Experience APIs – API implementation to support patient and provider experiences trigger by Salesforce Apex
HL7 Connector is a supporting MuleSoft asset that supports integration with healthcare systems by providing the tools required to easily create, read, and transform HL7 version 2.x messages.
