I would be willing to bet the hospital you work at is paying several million a year for their EMR and all sorts of smaller contracts that probably nobody knows about. One of those contracts probably supports the integration you are looking to do and has not been configured yet because it has not went high up enough the food chain. I think you are better off asking contacting the IT department of the hospital and have them log a ticket to the EMR provider (probably Cerner or Epic) and have them look at it before getting too invested.
- xyzzy123 13y ago> have them log a ticket to the EMR provider Good advice. Although sometimes, the best way to get a fire lit is just to set something up and wait for IT to complain...
- cimorene12 13y agoI second just telling the IT department about it so they can tell the vendor. I work for an EMR company and I'm pretty sure UCSF is one of our organizations. I don't know if the hospital will pay you extra for an interface solution that the EMR company is supposed to take care of. I'd check with your hospital first.
- akrasia 13y agoGood advice. I heard somewhere that they did have this ability but it was a very pricey add-on. It was just a rumor though. I'll check with IT.
