Looking for a HealthJump Alternative? Don’t Just Replace It. Rethink It.

When an EHR integration platform shuts down, the pressure to move fast is real. But the organizations that come out ahead don’t just restore connectivity — they use the transition to build something better.

LOOKING FOR A HEALTHJUMP ALTERNATIVE?

 Smartlink Data Connector (SDC) is a proven HealthJump alternative – bidirectional EHR integration across 90+ systems built specifically for value-based care programs, with no EHR vendor involvement and no clinic IT burden. If you’re evaluating your options, the considerations below will help you make the right call.

HealthJump Is Being Sunsetted. Before You Replace It, Ask These Three Questions

HealthJump is being sunsetted. You have no choice but to replace it. But before you restore what you
had, there’s something worth knowing: the way value-based care works has changed since most of
these integrations were built. The organizations that use this transition wisely won’t just replace their platform – they’ll come out with a stronger foundation than they had before .

1

Understand What the Transition Will Require From Your Team

Replacing an integration platform isn’t just a technology decision — it’s a project. Some platforms require significant coordination from your clinic staff and IT team. Others handle the heavy lifting entirely on their side, with zero effort from your team.

Ask directly: what do you need from us to get this done?

2

Bidirectional Integration Is No Longer Optional — It’s Table Stakes

Most HealthJump users have been moving data one direction: out of the EHR. But value-based care now requires data to flow back in — closing care gaps, capturing risk, improving quality scores.

If your replacement is read-only by design, that’s an architectural limitation you’ll feel for years.

3

Make Sure It Reaches Every EHR — and Can Handle the Data APIs Don’t Expose

Not all the data that matters for value-based care measures comes through in a structured data feed. A significant portion lives in unstructured documents — a colonoscopy report as a PDF, a progress note — that standard APIs can’t reach. Make sure your replacement can reach every EHR in your network and surface that data too.

One missed document is one missed care gap.

BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO A REPLACEMENT

Make Sure You Can Check All Five Boxes

✓
My replacement handles bidirectional data exchange — not just extraction
✓
It reaches every EHR in my network — not just the major ones
✓
It can surface unstructured clinical documents — not just structured data fields
✓
The transition requires minimal effort from my clinic staff and IT team
✓
No EHR vendor involvement or vendor fees — required

How Smartlink Approaches Integration Differently

Most integration platforms are built around connectivity. SDC was built around outcomes. That’s not a marketing distinction — it changes every decision we make about how data moves, where it goes, and what it does when it gets there.

1. No API Limitations. No Waiting on Vendor Roadmaps

SDC uses FHIR, HL7, API, database connections, and patented UI-based automation — and matches the right method to each use case. Our UI integration works with any EHR environment: web-based, hosted, or on-premise. No EHR vendor involvement. No clinic IT burden. No waiting on someone else’s API roadmap.

This matters especially for value-based care measures. A significant portion of the clinical data required for quality reporting isn’t available through standard vendor APIs — it lives in unstructured documents that structured data feeds can’t reach. SDC’s UI-based automation can identify and extract that data regardless of how it’s stored, giving organizations a path to complete, accurate reporting that other platforms simply can’t offer.

2. Bidirectional by Design

Some platforms are built to pull data out. SDC is built to exchange it. That means extracting clinical data AND writing back into the EHR — inserting information, creating tasks, closing loops, automating workflows. For value-based care programs, write-back capability isn’t optional. It’s the whole point.

3. Built for Value-Based Care From the Ground Up

SDC wasn’t adapted for value-based care. It was built for it. Diagnosis gap closure, care gap resolution, quality reporting at the practice and provider level, and the ability to surface both structured data and unstructured clinical documents for measure calculation — these aren’t add-ons. They’re the reason SDC exists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smartlink Data Connector (SDC) is a strong alternative for organizations that relied on HealthJump for EHR data extraction and interoperability. SDC supports integrations across more than 90 EHR platforms using multiple methods — including FHIR, HL7, API, database connections, and patented UI-based automation. Unlike database-extraction platforms, SDC is bidirectional by design, meaning it can both extract data from EHRs and deliver information back into the clinical workflow. This makes it particularly well-suited for value-based care organizations running risk adjustment, care gap closure, and eCQM reporting programs.

HealthJump was primarily known as a data extraction platform — designed to pull standardized EHR data for downstream analytics, with limited native support for delivering data back into clinical workflows. Smartlink Data Connector is a full iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) that supports bidirectional data exchange across any EHR environment, including web-based and hosted systems that database tools cannot reach. SDC also works without EHR vendor involvement or clinic IT resources. For organizations that need both data extraction and insertion, SDC offers meaningfully broader functionality.

Smartlink Data Connector supports integrations with more than 90 EHR platforms, including the mid-market ambulatory EHRs that HealthJump was known for — such as eClinicalWorks, Greenway, Allscripts, NextGen, Practice Fusion, and others. Because SDC uses multiple integration methods rather than relying solely on database access, it can connect with a broader range of EHR environments, including web-based and hosted systems where direct database connections are not available.

The most important first step is to map your reporting dependencies — identify every workflow, quality submission process, and performance dashboard that currently relies on your integration layer. This tells you what’s genuinely at risk during a transition and helps you evaluate replacement platforms against the data needs that matter most, not just connectivity specs. Smartlink offers a focused Transition Architecture Review to help organizations work through exactly this process before committing to a replacement platform.

This is more common than most organizations realize. Many EHRs are certified for electronic quality reporting but don’t reliably expose all the required data elements through standard APIs — meaning organizations can find themselves stuck between a compliance requirement and an EHR that doesn’t fully cooperate. SDC’s UI-based automation can extract the necessary data regardless of what an EHR’s API makes available, giving organizations a path to eCQM compliance that doesn’t depend on their EHR vendor catching up first.

Yes. SDC was built specifically for the data exchange requirements of value-based care — including ACOs, CINs, HIEs, MSOs, and payers managing risk-bearing arrangements. The platform supports diagnosis gap closure, care gap identification and resolution,quality reporting readiness, chart retrieval, and quality performance reporting at the group, practice, provider, and patient level. Smartlink has completed more than 700 integrations across value-based care organizations and their member clinics.

Smartlink deploys integrations in days to weeks — not months. Because SDC does not require EHR vendor involvement, clinic IT resources, or lengthy credentialing processes with individual EHR companies, the implementation timeline is substantially faster than traditional integration approaches. For organizations facing a hard transition deadline, this deployment speed is often a deciding factor.

Yes. Smartlink Data Connector is SOC 2 certified, providing healthcare organizations with independent verification that Smartlink’s security controls, data handling practices, and operational processes meet rigorous standards. For organizations transitioning from another integration platform, security certification is an important evaluation criterion — particularly when that integration layer touches clinical data across multiple EHR environments.
