- Integration with healthcare organizations can be achieved through three primary paths: direct-to-database, robotic process automation (screen-scraping), and sanctioned interfaces.
- Direct-to-database integration offers high potential but comes with challenges like varying schemas, brittle connections, and strict security protocols.
- Robotic process automation (screen-scraping) provides automation of repetitive tasks, easier access to data shown on user interfaces, and less complex security challenges compared to direct-to-database integration.
