Case Study

Health System Interface Modernization

Large health system aligning legacy lab/order interfaces with a newer interoperability roadmap across inpatient and ambulatory workflows.

Problem

Site-specific mapping conventions and uneven launch criteria were creating avoidable rework and delaying implementation decisions.

Actions

  • Facilitated cross-team discovery workshops to align technical and clinical handoff expectations.
  • Standardized mapping requirements and acceptance criteria for HL7 v2 and FHIR-related workstreams.
  • Established recurring readiness reviews with shared risk ownership across product, engineering, QA, and operations.
  • Introduced a cutover checklist model that clarified dependencies before launch approval.

Results

  • Reduced launch friction by replacing ad hoc handoffs with a consistent implementation workflow.
  • Improved stakeholder confidence in go/no-go decisions through clearer readiness evidence.
