Using Integration Platforms

Integration platforms like Redox or Mulesoft provide a seamless connection between eClinicalWorks and Availity, allowing for automatic data transfer between the two systems without the need for extensive coding. These integrations offer a variety of triggers and actions, enabling you to automate workflows and improve efficiency in healthcare data management.

Using APIs

Another approach to integrate eClinicalWorks and Availity is by directly utilizing their APIs. By integrating both APIs, you empower healthcare providers and insurance teams with real-time patient insights, fostering improved communication and a superior workflow. To employ this method, refer to their respective API documentation.

eClinicalWorks and Availity Integration via HL7 Interface

Automating workflows between eClinicalWorks and Availity through HL7 interfaces involves setting up triggers in eClinicalWorks that lead to actions in Availity systems. This streamlined approach ensures efficient communication channels between healthcare providers and insurance companies.

• New Patient Registered in eClinicalWorks -> Send Eligibility Check to Availity
• Encounter Created in eClinicalWorks -> Send Pre-authorization Request to Availity
• Procedure Completed in eClinicalWorks -> Submit Claim to Availity
• Discharge Summary Completed in eClinicalWorks -> Send Clinical Documentation to Availity for Review

For comprehensive details on implementing these integrations, consult with eClinicalWorks' interoperability team and Availity's provider integration resources.

Direct Integration between eClinicalWorks and Availity

Some insurance providers, including certain Availity entities, may offer direct integrations with major EHR systems like eClinicalWorks. These integrations can provide real-time eligibility checks, streamlined claims submission, and automated pre-authorization processes. Check with your local Availity representative to see if they offer a direct integration solution with eClinicalWorks.

Considerations for Integration

• HIPAA Compliance: Ensure all integrations maintain patient data privacy and security in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
• Data Standardization: Use standard formats like HL7 or FHIR to ensure consistent data exchange between systems.
• Workflow Optimization: Design integrations to streamline existing workflows and reduce manual data entry.
• Scalability: Choose integration solutions that can handle increasing data volumes as your healthcare organization grows.
