EHR integration

Connecting your EHR is the most hands-off way to send notes to Synaipse. Once it’s set up, every signed operative note is captured automatically — no faxing, forwarding, or uploading by anyone on your team.

How it works

When a surgeon signs an operative note in your EHR, the note is delivered to Synaipse, matched to the patient and encounter using the structured data your EHR already carries, and entered into the processing pipeline. Because the patient, provider, and date of service arrive alongside the note, EHR cases match cleanly and rarely need manual identification.

Connection methods

Synaipse supports the standard ways EHRs share clinical documents. Your administrator and our integrations team will choose the best fit during onboarding:

  • Name
    HL7 / MDM messages
    Description

    Receive transcribed and signed documents over an HL7 interface.

  • Name
    FHIR DocumentReference
    Description

    Pull signed notes from a FHIR endpoint on a schedule or via subscription.

  • Name
    Direct secure messaging
    Description

    Route notes to Synaipse over Direct, treated like a clinical recipient.

  • Name
    SFTP export
    Description

    Drop document exports into a secure folder Synaipse monitors.

EHR integrations are configured with your IT team during onboarding and require a Business Associate Agreement. They aren’t self-service — reach out to your Synaipse implementation contact or support@synaipse.org to get started.

Common integrations

Synaipse has connected with the EHRs commonly used in surgical practices and ambulatory surgery centers, including Epic, Cerner (Oracle Health), athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and others. If yours isn’t listed, we can almost always connect through one of the standard methods above.

What to expect during onboarding

  1. A scoping call with your IT or EHR vendor contact to choose a connection method.
  2. Configuration and credentialing of the interface in a test environment.
  3. A validation period where notes flow into Synaipse and are checked against your records.
  4. Go-live, after which signed operative notes are captured automatically.
