Case Studies
Interoperability deployed in real-world healthcare.
For over a decade Carefluence® has connected hospitals, physician communities, telemedicine platforms, specialty networks and health information exchanges.
These engagements show how a standards-based platform replaces point-to-point interfaces with connectivity that lasts.
Deployments
Hurley Medical Center
- Challenge
- Hurley Medical Center, a 443-bed public teaching hospital in Genesee County, Michigan, wanted to keep supporting its physician community without forcing physicians to change their EMR, and to meet Meaningful Use Stage 3 requirements for patient record access.
- Approach
- Hurley first launched the HurleyHub through Carefluence® in June 2013. In 2016 it became the first organization to connect to the Carefluence® FHIR® API, deployed alongside its existing EHRs, with integration tools that map to existing data exchange protocols and OAuth 2.0 access management.
- Outcome
- Hurley exchanges medical records with over 50 physicians and practice administrators in its community, without point-to-point connections to each physician office, saving IT resources while greatly reducing integration time and costs.
SnapMD Virtual Care Management
- Challenge
- Medical practices needed to see patients through telemedicine as part of the clinic’s daily workflow, with access to scheduling, EMR charting and billing, rather than in a separate system.
- Approach
- In 2019 SnapMD partnered with Carefluence® to integrate its enterprise Virtual Care Management (VCM) platform with the ModuleMD EHR through FHIR®-based Carefluence® APIs. Clinicians can access EHR data from within the telemedicine platform, or open the telemedicine platform from within the EHR.
- Outcome
- Connectivity and data exchange that support complete clinical pathways and a certified system of record, bringing virtual care into the practice workflow.
Oncology Network
- Challenge
- Clinical data needed to move between practice systems and connected applications across a multi-site oncology network.
- Approach
- FHIR®-based connectivity across the network, built on the Carefluence® platform, enabling clinical data exchange between practice systems and connected applications.
- Outcome
- 200+ clinics connected through FHIR® R4 exchange.
Behavioral Health Network
- Challenge
- A distributed behavioral health network needed one connected clinical workflow across its care sites, and the interoperability infrastructure beneath it.
- Approach
- Carefluence® delivered the connected clinical workflow and the interoperability infrastructure together, on one platform.
- Outcome
- 26 care sites unified on one platform.
Health Information Exchange
- Challenge
- Participating organizations in a regional health information exchange sent data in different formats.
- Approach
- The exchange licensed the ONC-certified Carefluence® platform for standards-based clinical data exchange across its participating organizations.
- Outcome
- Standards-based, normalized clinical data exchange across a regional network.
