Prototyping an EHR-integration product line with an external data partner

Front-End Engineer · Healthjump(acquired by Datavant) · 2019 – 2022

Prototyped an EHR-integration client and Chrome extension with an external data partner, pulling patient data via API from systems like Athenahealth to lay groundwork for a new product line.

ReactChrome Extensions

Context

Separately from the internal ops portal, an external data partnership was pushing toward a new product line built on pulling patient data out of third-party EHR systems, which meant building a client capable of authenticating against and querying systems this team didn't control.

Approach

Prototyped an EHR-integration client and a companion Chrome extension, in partnership with an external data partner, to pull patient data via API from systems like Athenahealth.

Outcome

The prototype validated a workable path toward a new product line built on external EHR data, ahead of any commitment to a full production build.
