Joining up the whole system — connectors, standards and the live integration layer

Health data lives in dozens of systems. commvita is built to connect to all of them — monitor every integration for health (commvita™ PulseGrid), speak every standard (HL7 v2, FHIR R4/R5, GP Connect, NRL, IHE), and run a live integration layer (ADT feed, message queue, FHIR browser, patient matching) rather than a set of static diagrams.

Live vs demonstrated: Live — real, API-backed platform logic (wired end-to-end today) Demonstrated — representative control surface with seeded data / illustrative UI mock-up

Three layers of joining-up

Connect → translate → act. Each integration is monitored for health, its messages translated to a canonical FHIR model, and the result acted on live — ADT events matched to a patient, results filed, alerts raised.

Connect anything

PulseGrid · Connector Wizard

commvita™ PulseGrid monitors the pre-seeded EPR connectors with dual-endpoint, protocol-native probes — MLLP handshake for HL7 v2, FHIR /metadata ping, REST /health — so you know which side failed. An 8-step Connector Wizard stands up a new source.

Where in commvita /connector-dashboard · inventory API /system-connectors · /connector-wizard.

Speak every standard

HL7 v2 · FHIR · IHE · SMART

An HL7 v2 engine, a visual HL7↔FHIR Transformation Studio, a Schema Library (FHIR R4/R5 + UK Core), CDS Hooks, SMART on FHIR app launch and IHE profiles (PIX/PDQ/XDS/MHD/ATNA) — plus GP Connect, NRL and FHIR Bulk $export.

Act on it — live

EPR Hub integration layer

The EPR Hub is the live layer: a real-time ADT event feed, a message queue with retry, a FHIR R4 browser and a patient-matching console — the place inbound events become filed, matched clinical data.

Both sides of every integration, watched

PulseGrid probes SOURCE and TARGET independently with the protocol's own handshake, rolls integrations up per clinical service, and drives an alert ladder (detect → acknowledge → escalate) with an append-only ack audit.

Translate to one canonical model

The Transformation Studio maps HL7 v2 segments and legacy Read/CTV3 codes to canonical FHIR R4, tested against sample messages — so downstream modules see one shape, whatever the source spoke.

File it against the right patient

The EPR Hub matches inbound ADT/ORU to the person (NHS number + demographics), queues with retry on failure, and surfaces unmatched messages for a human — no silent drops.

Why this matters for a demo. Integration is where health IT projects go to die. commvita treats it as a first-class, monitored, standards-native capability — you can see every connector's health on both sides, translate anything to one FHIR model, and watch inbound events become filed clinical data. Non-SaMD integration control surface.

Strategic commissioning & emerging IHOs. A capitated, outcome-based contract only works if every provider around the patient sees the same record. This integration layer is that backbone for an emerging Integrated Health Organisation (IHO): shared information across acute, community, primary and social care (shared care records, GP Connect, NRL, Neighbourhood Health Record), so strategic commissioners and IHOs can align incentives to whole-population outcomes rather than activity.
