Other ways to connect OpenEMR and Kareo

Using Integration Platforms

Integration platforms like Redox or Mulesoft provide a seamless connection between OpenEMR and Kareo, allowing for automatic data transfer between the two systems without the need for extensive coding. These integrations offer a variety of triggers and actions, enabling you to automate workflows and improve efficiency in healthcare data management.

Using APIs

Another approach to integrate OpenEMR and Kareo is by directly utilizing their APIs. By integrating both APIs, you empower healthcare providers and billing teams with real-time patient insights, fostering improved communication and a superior workflow. To employ this method, refer to their respective API documentation.

OpenEMR and Kareo Integration via HL7 Interface

Automating workflows between OpenEMR and Kareo through HL7 interfaces involves setting up triggers in OpenEMR that lead to actions in Kareo systems. This streamlined approach ensures efficient communication channels between healthcare providers and billing departments.

  • New Patient Registered in OpenEMR -> Send Billing Information to Kareo
  • Encounter Created in OpenEMR -> Send Billing Codes to Kareo
  • Procedure Completed in OpenEMR -> Submit Claim to Kareo
  • Discharge Summary Completed in OpenEMR -> Send Billing Summary to Kareo
