Connect Backline to the systems you already use
Backline uses open architecture to connect and orchestrate communication and workflows across your EHR, AI tools, identity systems, and broader technology environment.
Connect with your EHR.
Backline connects with EHRs that support standard HL7 and FHIR interfaces, including MEDITECH, Epic, and Cerner.
An HL7 ADT feed creates the patient room in Backline, keeps patient information current as the patient moves through the organization, and closes the room at discharge.
Orchestrate across AI tools.
Backline connects AI agents and tools across your organization, bringing their outputs into one workflow to route information, assign next steps, and keep work moving.
Open architecture.
Backline supports standard healthcare and enterprise integration methods, including:
For custom interfaces and custom APIs, Backline works with your team and technology vendors to define the integration requirements and scope.
Built for healthcare security.
Backline supports secure healthcare communication with timestamped, user-attributed audit records across the platform.
Frequently asked questions.
Does Backline integrate with my EHR?+
Backline connects with EHRs through standard interfaces such as HL7 and FHIR. An ADT interface can create and update patient rooms in Backline as patients move through the organization.
How does Backline connect to our network?+
Backline interfaces connect through a site-to-site VPN into a DrFirst-hosted interface engine or through HTTPS, depending on the integration.
How long does an integration take?+
Integration timelines depend on the interfaces involved, the data available from your existing systems, and your organization’s network and security requirements. Backline defines the scope and implementation schedule with your team before work begins.
