Integration engines are the critical “middlemen” that allow different clinical systems to communicate with each other safely and efficiently. Without them, modern digital healthcare would be disconnected, fragmented, and prone to error. In this Learning Program, we will explore what integration engines are, how they work, and why they are so essential to the smooth operation of EPMA, EPR, PAS, and other healthcare systems. We will introduce key concepts such as HL7 messaging, FHIR standards, APIs, and message transformation, breaking them down into easy-to-understand language for clinical and non-technical audiences alike. You'll gain insights into how integration engines support real-world clinical workflows, from admissions and discharges to prescription updates and lab results. We'll look at the most widely used integration platforms in healthcare, common challenges in system integration, and the governance considerations that underpin safe data exchange. By the end of this course, you’ll have a strong foundational understanding of integration engines, empowering you to communicate more effectively with technical teams, contribute meaningfully to integration projects, and better understand the digital ecosystem that supports patient care. Whether you are a pharmacist, clinical informatician, healthcare project manager, or digital leader, this program will equip you with essential knowledge for navigating the world of clinical system integration.
