SMARTLINK DATA CONNECTOR

EHR Integration Redefined

Standard integration platforms are limited by what EHR vendor APIs expose. SDC goes further — combining multiple methods to reach and write data that standard interfaces simply can’t access.

Smartlink Data Connector (SDC) is a patented EHR integration platform that enables organizations to extract data from, and insert data into, virtually any EHR — without vendor involvement, without API limitations, and without disrupting clinic workflows. It powers Smartlink’s clinical applications, including DxInsight and GapCheck, and supports custom integration use cases for ACOs, HIEs, health IT vendors, labs, and payers across more than 90 EHR systems.

U.S. Patent Awarded — Smartlink Data Connector holds a U.S. Patent for its data interchange capabilities within clinically integrated networks — including EHR migration, clinical quality measure reporting, and third-party product enablement.

INTEGRATION METHODS

We match the right integration method to every use case.

No single method fits all needs and budgets. SDC selects the right approach for each integration — maximizing speed, coverage, and cost-efficiency.

FHIR & HL7

Standards-based exchange for structured clinical data where vendor APIs support it fully.

API & Database

Direct connectivity where vendor APIs exist and provide sufficient access depth and breadth.

U.S. Patented Technology

Smartlink’s proprietary engine enables bidirectional data exchange with EHR interfaces when standard APIs are unavailable, restricted, or cost-prohibitive — no vendor involvement required.

ARCHITECTURE

Innovation in healthcare requires innovative approaches to integration.

SDC CONSOLE

Full visibility into every integration, in one place.

The SDC Console gives your team real-time oversight of every data job running across your network — so you always know what’s moving, what’s succeeded, and what needs attention. No black box. No guesswork.

UI INTEGRATION

Reach the data standard APIs can’t — bidirectionally.

FHIR and HL7 API support varies broadly by vendor, and custom API work can be expensive and slow. Smartlink’s patented UI integration engine delivers what standard APIs cannot — bidirectional data exchange with EHR interfaces when APIs are unavailable, restricted, or cost-prohibitive. No vendor fees. No waiting on roadmaps. Just faster, more flexible integration.

CUSTOMER VOICE

What our customers are saying.

Antwayne Ford, President and CEO, Enlightened, Inc.

“The complexity of the DCHIE project called for a tool that I call an interpreter. It had to speak multiple different languages and yet be able to share the information. Smartlink ultimately eliminated the excuse of ‘I can’t share data because I don’t have that level of technology.”

Antwanye Ford, President & CEO, Enlightened, Inc, Grant Award Prime, DCHIE

Jascon Buckner, Chief Information Officer of Manifest MedEx, the largest nonprofit health data network in California.

“We couldn’t be happier with our partnership with Smartlink. In addition to drastically decreasing the time it takes to complete an integration, we’ve significantly expanded the number of EHR brands that we can integrate with. We’ve also been able to reduce our operational overhead related to ongoing support and maintenance”

Jason Buckner, CIO, Manifest MedEx

Erik Myers,-SAS-Lead-Strategic-Consultant-for-NC-HealthConnex---the-state-health-information-exchange

“As the State of North Carolina’s HIE technology partner, we knew it was important to provide options for connecting to the state-designated Health Information Exchange, NC HealthConnex, particularly for those healthcare clinics with specialty-specific electronic health records. Our partnership with Smartlink has made a difference as we edge closer to the goal of linking health care providers in North Carolina.”

Eric Myers, SAS Lead Strategic Consultant, NC HealthConnex, SAS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about Smartlink Data Connector.

What is Smartlink Data Connector?

Smartlink Data Connector is a patented EHR integration platform that enables bidirectional data exchange with 90+ EHRs through FHIR, HL7, APIs, database connections, and patented UI-based automation. It powers Smartlink’s clinical applications — DxInsight and GapCheck — and supports custom integration projects for ACOs, HIEs, labs, and health IT organizations.

How is SDC different from standard FHIR or HL7 integration?

Most platforms are limited by what EHR vendor APIs expose. SDC adds a patented UI-based automation engine that enables bidirectional data exchange with EHR interfaces even when vendor APIs are unavailable, restricted, or cost-prohibitive — enabling integrations that standard API platforms simply cannot do.

Does SDC require EHR vendor involvement or formal API partnerships?

No. SDC is specifically designed to operate without EHR vendor involvement. There are no vendor permissions required, no waiting on vendor roadmaps, and no formal partnerships needed to begin an integration.

What EHRs does SDC support?

SDC has been successfully integrated with more than 90 EHR systems including Epic, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, NextGen, Allscripts, Greenway, and many others. View the full list of supported systems.

Does SDC support inserting data into the EHR, not just extracting it?

Yes. SDC enables true bidirectional data exchange — meaning data flows in both directions between the EHR and external systems. SDC’s patented UI-based engine can deliver data directly into EHR encounters, progress notes, and external portals without relying on vendor-provided APIs. This is the same capability that powers DxInsight’s ability to update diagnosis documentation and GapCheck’s ability to close care gaps inside the EHR workflow.

What is the U.S. Patent that SDC holds?

Smartlink received a U.S. Patent for SDC’s data interchange capabilities within clinically integrated networks. The patent covers four key capabilities: transferring patient records between EHR vendors during migrations, concatenating patient records across diverse EHRs for group reporting of clinical quality measures (eCQMs), transferring clinical data from any government-certified EHR to a specific registry, and enabling third-party products to operate in conjunction with clinic EHRs. These patented capabilities are the foundation of SDC’s integration engine and the products it powers, including DxInsight and GapCheck.

Is SDC HIPAA-compliant and secure?

Smartlink is SOC 2 Type I certified and holds a U.S. Patent for its data interchange capabilities within clinically integrated networks, including EHR migration, clinical quality measure reporting, and third-party product enablement.
