How to Integrate and Customize Practice Management Systems

Practice management systems (PMS) streamline clinic operations. This guide covers integrating with EHR and customizing for specific workflows.

Prerequisites

• Existing EHR system
• API access for billing and scheduling
• Development team with Node.js/React experience
• HIPAA compliance for patient data

Step 1: Core Integration

1.1 EHR Synchronization

Use HL7/FHIR for patient data sync:

// Example FHIR integration
import FHIR from "fhir.js";

const client = new FHIR.client({
  serverUrl: "https://fhir.epic.com/interconnect-fhir-oauth/api/FHIR/R4",
});

client.request("/Patient").then((data) => {
  // Sync to PMS patient records
});

1.2 Billing Integration

Connect to medical billing APIs for claims.

1.3 Scheduling Sync

Integrate calendar with real-time availability.

Step 2: Customization

2.1 Workflow Automation

Customize for specialties (e.g., dental scheduling).

2.2 AI Features

Add AI for no-show prediction.

Step 3: Security and Testing

• Encrypt all data
• Test integrations end-to-end
• Ensure compliance

Common Challenges
