Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How long does a typical implementation take?
A: Most mid-size health systems go live in 12–16 weeks, depending on the number of EHR integrations, data-migration complexity, and stakeholder availability for training.
Q2: Is the platform HIPAA-compliant?
A: Absolutely. We leverage end-to-end encryption (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit), granular RBAC, audit trails, and annual third-party penetration tests to maintain HIPAA, PIPEDA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 compliance.
Q3: Can we start with a pilot program?
A: Yes. Many clients choose a 90-day pilot focused on a single specialty or location. We define success metrics (e.g., referral completion rate, average turnaround time) and provide a detailed ROI report at the end of the pilot.
Q4: What EHRs do you integrate with?
A: Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, Meditech, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and any system supporting HL7 v2, FHIR R4, or custom REST/SOAP APIs. We also connect to imaging, lab, and CRM systems.
Q5: Do you offer on-premise deployment?
A: Yes. While 70 % of clients choose our secure cloud (AWS or Azure), we offer on-premise and hybrid deployments for organizations with strict data-residency or latency requirements.
Q6: How is pricing structured?
A: We offer subscription tiers based on monthly referral volume. Optional add-ons include AI-based predictive analytics, expanded patient-engagement modules, and dedicated account management.
Q7: Who owns the data?
A: You retain full ownership of all patient and operational data. Our contracts include stringent data-handling clauses, and you can export data in HL7, FHIR, or CSV formats at any time.
Q8: What kind of training do you provide?
A: Role-specific training—clinicians, referral coordinators, administrators—delivered via live webinars, self-paced LMS modules, and onsite workshops. Training materials remain accessible post-launch for onboarding new staff.
Q9: How do you handle system downtime?
A: Our cloud platform delivers 99.95 % uptime backed by SLA. For on-prem deployments, we establish HA clusters and offer optional disaster-recovery (DR) services with RPO ≤ 15 minutes and RTO ≤ 1 hour.
Q10: Can the platform be customized to our workflows?
A: Yes. From referral-intake forms to triage rules and reporting dashboards, every component is configurable. Our business-analysis team maps your current-state processes and designs future-state workflows to ensure minimal disruption.
Q11: What kind of support is available post-launch?
A: 24 / 7 email, phone, and ticket-based support staffed in North American time zones. Dedicated Customer Success Managers provide quarterly business reviews and proactive optimization recommendations.
Q12: How soon can we realize ROI?
A: Clients typically see a 25–30 % reduction in referral leakage and a 40 % decrease in manual processing within the first six months, resulting in positive ROI within the first year.
