Health Systems API Integration

Project Overview

The Health Systems API Integration platform serves as a central hub for connecting various health information systems used across different healthcare facilities and programs. By implementing standardized protocols like HL7 and FHIR, this solution enables seamless data exchange between previously siloed systems, creating a more cohesive healthcare information ecosystem.

Key Features

  • HL7 and FHIR standard implementations
  • Real-time message routing and transformation
  • Comprehensive API documentation with Swagger
  • Advanced error handling and retry mechanisms
  • Audit logging and transaction monitoring
  • Scalable architecture handling 1M+ daily transactions

Technology Stack

Frontend

  • Swagger UI
  • React Admin Dashboard

Backend

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • Pydantic

Database

  • PostgreSQL
  • SQLAlchemy ORM

Deployment

  • Kubernetes
  • Docker
  • Azure Cloud

Challenges & Solutions

Ensuring interoperability between systems with different data models and security requirements was complex. We implemented a flexible mapping engine and robust security layer to address these challenges.

Outcome

Successfully integrated 12 different health information systems, reducing manual data entry by 70% and improving data accuracy by 45%.
