When it comes to interoperability, most healthcare teams focus on their EHR. But while your EHR is important, it’s not the only piece that matters.
There are tools built specifically to help with lab ordering, interface monitoring, instrument connectivity, and more — and using the right ones can save time, reduce errors, and simplify your workflows.
Here are four tools we’ve developed at Healthcare Integrations to solve common integration challenges — and why healthcare teams love them.
1. LabSender
Problem it solves:
Manual lab orders are slow, error-prone, and hard to track.
What it does:
LabSender automates lab order transmission from your EHR to external labs via HL7 or ETOR standards — reducing turnaround time and improving accuracy.
2. ETOR Express
Problem it solves:
Not all labs are fully HL7-ready — and ETOR workflows can be messy.
What it does:
ETOR Express is a lightweight tool that simplifies Electronic Test Order and Result (ETOR) exchange, even when working with non-standard partners.
3. Interface Monitor
Problem it solves:
When an interface breaks, it’s hard to know where or why — until it’s too late.
What it does:
Interface Monitor watches your data pipelines, alerts you to failures, and gives you real-time visibility into interface health.
4. InstrumentSync
Problem it solves:
Clinical instruments often don’t integrate well with EHRs — or with each other.
What it does:
InstrumentSync standardizes data from instruments like blood analyzers and sends it to your EHR in HL7 format, bridging the gap between devices and systems.
Bonus: Why These Tools Work Together
Tools to improve healthcare integration workflows solve a different problem — but all are designed to fit into your existing integration stack. Whether you use Epic, Meditech, Cerner, or a custom solution, we make sure these products work with your current setup.
And if you’re running Mirth Connect or Bridgelink, they integrate directly with your existing interface engine.
