How Patient Lens works with the HIS you already run
Start with upload or scan. Add a deeper HIS integration later if you need it. Patient Lens is not a HIS replacement.
Plug into the stack. Do not rip it out.
Hospitals do not want another system of record
The HIS already owns ADT, orders, and billing. Replacing it to get a faster discharge summary is the wrong project. Patient Lens sits on the documentation path: it reads what you already have and returns a draft the same people already sign.
Two depths, on purpose
Day one is upload or scan. That is enough for a 7-day pilot. A deeper hookup — pull from the HIS, write the signed pack back — is available later. It usually needs a one-time integration charge and vendor access. The pilot does not wait on that quote.
On-prem and hybrid
Enterprise hospitals that must host PHI can run on-prem or hybrid. You provide the servers we spec. There is a one-time deploy cost. Cloud remains the default for single-site P0 hospitals that want to start this month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to operational, clinical, and billing questions about this topic.
QDo we need an IT integration before our hospital can start?
No. You can start immediately via secure browser upload or scan. Deep bi-directional HIS integration (pulling ADT/labs and writing signed summaries back) is an optional phase after your clinical team validates the workflow.
QWhich Hospital Information Systems (HIS) can Patient Lens integrate with?
Patient Lens interfaces with major commercial and proprietary HIS platforms, including Akhil Systems, KareXpert, Medirays, Napier, Insta, and custom relational database backends via REST APIs and HL7/FHIR standards.
QCan Patient Lens write the final signed summary back to our HIS database?
Yes. In enterprise deployments with active HIS integrations, the final PDF and structured data payload are automatically archived into your Electronic Medical Record (EMR) repository under the patient's UHID.
QWhat are the on-premise and hybrid hosting deployment options?
For hospitals with strict data residency policies prohibiting multi-tenant cloud storage, Patient Lens can be deployed on hospital-provided local server infrastructure with localized model execution.
