Gaining the agility and confidence to meet these new benchmarks is essential.

Corepoint Health enables clinics to achieve independence from external application vendors and point-to-point interfaces, which are difficult to modify, manage and monitor. There is a better way which many clinics have been realizing through their implementation of Corepoint Integration Engine ^[3].

In your clinical environment, you may have the need for integration with one or more of the following applications:

The data flow between these applications needs to be seamless and continuous in support of delivering high quality patient care. This is the critical role an Corepoint Integration Engine ^[3] fulfills. Corepoint Health supports clinics with robust electronic data exchange, enabling them to meet the challenge of delivering consistently high-quality patient care in a timely and efficient manner.
