- Assess the current workflow and identify pain points.
- Define integration objectives — real-time patient tracking, automated triage, seamless data exchange.
- Identify integration points across EHR systems, patient management systems, diagnostic equipment and communication tools.
- Design the integration architecture: exchange protocols, APIs, message formats and security.
- Develop integration components, interfaces and connectors.
- Implement data mapping and transformation to the canonical model.
- Enable real-time data exchange and synchronisation.
- Test the integration thoroughly, end to end.
- Train A&E staff on the integrated workflow.
- Monitor and maintain the integration through subsequent releases.
Scope discipline
What we do not do
We do not require a department to replace its electronic health record, its patient administration system or its diagnostic equipment. BAEMS integrates with what is there. Where the existing estate cannot meet a standard interface, an adapter is built.
Departments that have lived through a system replacement understand why this matters more than any feature comparison.
