Edenlab’s experience developing Ukraine’s national eHealth system, which serves over 35 million users, equips us to deliver complex HIE solutions globally.

We’re among the few teams worldwide with unmatched, in-depth expertise in HL7 FHIR, excelling in complex data mapping and ensuring flawless interoperability.

We accelerate HIE software solution development with ready-made technical infrastructure and proven expertise across multiple modules—from MPI and medication registries to digital prescriptions.

Types of health exchanges (HIEs) we develop

By initiating entity

Regulatory-mandated HIEs

Usually established by governments or health authorities—often through public-private partnerships—these exchanges regulate and improve care coordination at the international, state or regional level.

Examples:

UK’s Care Information Exchange German Telematics Infrastructure (TI) Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora Ukraine’s eHealth Qualified Health Information Networks (QHIN)

We design HIEs to implement national and international data exchange regulations while prioritizing high-load performance and the flexibility to support diverse business processes across thousands of entities.

HIEs for private health exchange networks

Developed by TPAs, large software vendors, and management service organizations (MSOs), these HIEs focus on business-driven interoperability.

Examples:

Carequality Interoperability Framework Epic Systems HIE Network Cerner Health HIE Network Optum's Payer Network 1up Health Payer Network

Our goal is to optimize processes within specific ecosystems, with a particular focus on:

  • Payer Networks – Enhance fraud detection, claims processing, and value-based care.
  • Provider Networks – Improve data interoperability and patient care coordination.
  • Lab Networks – Automate test result sharing and reporting.

Local HIEs supporting single-provider networks

Ordered by large hospital systems, payers, accountable care organizations (ACOs), or integrated delivery networks (IDNs).

Examples:

Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect Northwell Health Network

In this case, we prioritise automating specific business processes and ensuring seamless integration between selected clinics, labs, pharmacies, and insurers within a single ecosystem.

If you need to connect to an existing HIE/HIN instead of building your own, we can seamlessly facilitate the process: setting up the necessary connectors, mapping data, configuring automation, and supporting ongoing operations.

By governance approach

Centralized HIEs

Data is stored and managed in a centralized repository, providing a single access point for all healthcare providers. This model is ideal for organizations seeking streamlined data management and easy access to patient records, ensuring real-time updates.

Federated HIEs

Data remains stored in distributed systems across healthcare organizations, with each entity maintaining control over its own data. This model supports data autonomy while ensuring secure interoperability between different networks.

Hybrid HIEs

Combining elements of both centralized and federated models, the hybrid approach allows for flexibility in managing data across different platforms. It provides scalability and customized data governance, supporting a range of healthcare organizations.

We build HIEs on any data standard that meets your current and future needs

Legacy and specialized formats

  • HL7 v2 for legacy system compatibility
  • OpenEHR, widely adopted in Europe, for vendor-neutral health records
  • CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) for document-based health records
  • DICOM for medical imaging
  • X12 for financial and insurance data exchange
  • JSON/XML for structured interoperability across modern healthcare ecosystems.

FHIR as the gold standard

Most companies prioritize this modern standard for real-time, API-driven, and scalable data exchange. FHIR’s flexibility and modular design enable seamless integration, enhance data quality, and ensure compliance with regulations such as ONC, CMS, and the International Patient Summary (IPS), making it the ideal choice for HIE development.

Key considerations before starting your HIE project

01

Choose your data model carefully

Define the core clinical and administrative entities (patients, providers, encounters), their relationships, unique identifiers, and coding standards (FHIR, OpenEHR; SNOMED CT, LOINC). Plan for data versioning, ownership and governance.

02

Analyze existing registries and ensure consistency

If you’re connecting existing registries (MPI, providers, medications), validate their structure and data quality. Mismatched identifiers, duplicate records, and outdated entries are common HIE blockers.

03

Provide seamless participant onboarding

Design your health information exchange solution to make it easy for new organizations to connect with minimal technical effort. Define clear onboarding workflows, provide standard APIs. Define mapping rules and interoperability frameworks.

04

Plan ahead for fraud prevention

HIE networks increase the risk of fraudulent activities (false patient identities, duplicate claims). Include identity verification protocols, transaction monitoring, and anomaly detection mechanisms in your early design.

05

Prioritize data security and compliance

Health information exchange solutions aggregate sensitive data across organizations, making them prime targets. Implement strong authentication, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and strict access controls from day one.

06

Build for scalability and multi-tenant governance

HIE networks grow quickly. Design an architecture that supports scaling data volume, and managing governance across multiple independent stakeholders without downtime.

07

Prepare thoroughly for go-live

Be ready to reconcile data discrepancies between systems, manage incomplete records, and support new users who may not be familiar with cross-organizational workflows. Early testing and phased onboarding can prevent disruptions.
