How to ask your EMR or EHR to Integrate using HL7

FormDr Uses direct API connections and HL7 to integrate directly with your EMR or EHR.

Step 1: Identify the Right Point of Contact

  • Reach out to your EMR provider’s technical support, integration team, or account manager.
  • If you are unsure who to contact, check their website or contact general support for redirection.

Step 2: Confirm HL7 Support

Send an inquiry to confirm if your EMR supports HL7 standards. Here’s a sample message:

Subject: Inquiry Regarding HL7 Integration Support

Dear [Your EMR Provider’s Support Team/Representative’s Name],

I hope you’re doing well. I am reaching out from [Your Company Name], where we currently use [EMR System Name] for our electronic medical records management.

We are exploring an integration with FormDr, a digital forms and patient intake platform, and would like to confirm whether your EMR system supports HL7 integration for secure data exchange.

Could you please confirm:

  • If HL7 standards are supported in your system (e.g., HL7 v2.x or FHIR)?
  • The types of HL7 messages supported (e.g., ADT, ORU, SCH)?
  • If there are any existing processes for connecting third-party platforms via HL7?

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your guidance on the next steps.

Best regards,

[Your Full Name]

Step 3: Request EMR Integration with FormDr and Introduce technical teams

If the EMR confirms HL7 support, you can proceed with a formal integration request. Ensure both FormDr and your EMR’s technical teams are introduced for direct collaboration. Keep track of the process and clarify any additional technical requirements.
