The path depends on the systems, data flows, and interface access available in your environment. Start by defining what needs to move and the connection path each system makes available.
Identify the source and target systems, the data to exchange, and the workflow that depends on it.
Review the interface methods and technical details available in the environment before setting the implementation scope.
Decide which team owns mapping, testing, monitoring, and exception handling, then design the interface around that operating model.
Integration patterns can include the following. The final scope depends on the systems, data model, workflow, and interface access in your environment.
Use QIE to create, test, map, and transform the interfaces that fit your organization’s needs.
Monitor interface activity and queues, investigate errors, and give operations teams a single place to understand integration status.

After learning that support for its existing interface engine was ending, Revere Health adopted QIE to expand its Allscripts TouchWorks integration capabilities. The 2018 case study describes how the team brought more interface work in-house, reducing its reliance on outside consultants, and gained a graphical view of individual interfaces as its integration workload grew. It also reports broader data exchange with external health systems, state registries, and the regional HIE. Today, Revere Health uses QIE to manage more than 160 live interfaces that collectively process over 700,000 messages each day.
