Strategy and Solutions
The client was a regional hospital network operating 12 hospitals and multiple outpatient facilities, collectively supporting over 2.4 million patient encounters annually. Over years of growth and acquisitions, the network accumulated 18 disparate EMR systems across inpatient, outpatient, and specialty care settings. While each system functioned independently, the lack of interoperability created operational inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and limited system-wide visibility.
To improve care coordination, reduce data errors, and enable enterprise analytics, the network partnered with Zymr to implement a unified interoperability layer based on the FHIR R4 standard.
The hospital network struggled with fragmented patient data spread across multiple EMRs that did not communicate reliably. ADT (admission, discharge, transfer) events were frequently delayed or duplicated, leading to downstream clinical and billing errors. Analytics teams lacked access to normalized, real-time data, limiting population health insights and operational reporting. Any integration approach also had to support high encounter volumes, preserve EMR vendor independence, and meet strict healthcare data security and compliance requirements.
Zymr helped the hospital network move from fragmented EMR silos to a unified, standards-based interoperability foundation. By leveraging FHIR R4, the network reduced operational errors, improved clinical data reliability, and unlocked enterprise-wide analytics without disrupting existing EMR investments.
Zymr designed and deployed a centralized FHIR R4-based interoperability platform to unify clinical data across the network.
