Interoperability & System Integration 

Baker Tilly is highly skilled at designing and building interfaces to seamlessly connect disparate systems, devices, facilities and state registries to enable data exchange. Whether you are seeking HL7, FHIR interfaces or custom APIs, we have you covered. Our team of award-winning specialists are true developers with extensive coding and healthcare experience. 

Healthcare providers require readily accessible data to make critical decisions for patient care. Our interoperability and systems integration professionals have the skills and experience to identify and resolve issues with data (e.g., duplicate records and discrepancies). We will also help format your data to your specifications (e.g., CCDA/CCD, XML, JSON, SOAP, etc.) so that it is readable by systems and providers alike. 

Baker Tilly has more than a decade of supporting new system implementations and the related data migration initiatives from the legacy system to the new system in the required format(s). We have also successfully worked with numerous legacy vendors, such as GE, eClinicalWorks, MEDITECH and Altera to extract valuable and necessary patient data and migrate it to your new electronic medical records (EMR) or document management system. 

Data conversions extend beyond switching from one EMR to another; they also include moving data to archive systems or replacing lab and radiology systems. At Baker Tilly, we prioritize data readiness, ensuring data quality before conversion to prevent project delays. Our structured approach includes discovery, requirements gathering, build, testing and go-live phases. Managing constraints like hardware limitations, data extraction challenges and normalization of coded values is critical to ensuring a seamless conversion process. 

As healthcare organizations continue to adopt new digital platforms, maintaining and integrating these systems within existing IT infrastructures presents a growing challenge. Many organizations, especially smaller ones, struggle to balance system maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades without overextending internal IT staff or hiring full-time employees. Baker Tilly’s Interoperability and Integration team offers managed services to provide the support you need, whether temporary or ongoing, without the overhead of additional full-time staff. 

Our engine-agnostic experts ensure seamless integration, system monitoring, and troubleshooting, allowing your team to focus on broader strategic initiatives. With proactive alerts, vendor coordination, and after-hours support, our consultants help maintain system reliability while offering flexible coverage. Whether you need additional expertise for new implementations or ongoing maintenance, Baker Tilly provides scalable IT support tailored to your organization’s evolving needs.
