What you'll be able to do

  • Explain how EHR, LIS, RIS, PACS and billing systems exchange data, and which clinical workflow each interface serves
  • Read an HL7 v2 message and identify the message type, segments and fields carrying patient, order and result data
  • Describe the role of FHIR resources and DICOM imaging in a modern integration estate
  • Explain the channel model used by integration engines — source, filter, transformer, destination — and how a message is routed and transformed
  • Apply the core controls that secure a clinical interface: TLS in transit, OAuth 2.0 scopes and role-based access control
  • Diagnose common interface failures and describe a resilient design using validation, retries, dead-lettering and monitoring

Course Overview This course provides a comprehensive foundation in healthcare systems integration. Designed for IT professionals, system analysts, and integration specialists, the program bridges the gap between clinical workflows and technical implementation. Participants will learn how to connect disparate healthcare systems—including EHRs, LIS, and PACS—using industry-standard messaging protocols (HL7 v2.x, FHIR, DICOM). Through a combination of structured lessons, guided design exercises, and a capstone project, students will gain practical experience configuring integration engines, securing sensitive data, and troubleshooting real-world interface scenarios.

Target Audience Healthcare IT Integrators and Interface Analysts EHR/LIS/PACS Support Specialists Middleware Engineers (Mirth, Cloverleaf, Rhapsody) Clinical informaticists and Data Analysts Developers transitioning into healthcare technology

Prerequisites Foundational knowledge of networking (TCP/IP, HTTP) and APIs (REST, JSON). Basic understanding of database concepts or system administration is recommended but not required.
