In today’s healthcare environment, financial sustainability is an increasing challenge. With publicly funded healthcare continuing to grow, reimbursements are expected to decline further. Health systems must adapt to this financial strain while still delivering high-quality care and improving patient experience. A key solution lies in automating repetitive tasks and administrative workflows, which can significantly reduce operating costs. By streamlining these processes, healthcare providers can focus more on delivering quality care. Automation also helps reduce variability, optimize resource utilization, and support efficient care management.
While healthcare systems recognize the importance of automation to optimize resources and manage value-based care (VBC), these efforts are often hindered by outdated data systems and interoperability issues. Custom APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are often needed to unlock EHR systems. However, building and maintaining these APIs demands extensive technical expertise, time, and resources. Even minor EHR updates can cause downtime, leaving IT teams scrambling to repair broken data flows and healthcare providers unable to access critical information.
VennU—Medcurio’s no-code API generation platform— eliminates these barriers to accessing real-time data, enabling healthcare organizations to gain complete, fast, flexible, and secure access to 100% of their EHR data. Analysts can create, test, and deploy APIs in just a few days, compared to the four to six months typically required for traditional custom API development. Once built, these APIs can be quickly modified within minutes to hours, enhancing efficiency and flexibility. VennU enables the reuse of APIs across various user groups, allowing for both customization and standardization. For instance, APIs can be exported from one EHR instance to another or adapted from pre-made templates (such as those for medications) to meet specific needs.Additionally VennU’s automated change detection ensures uninterrupted access to data even when EHR systems update their schema, avoiding costly disruptions and maintaining smooth data flow without relying heavily on IT support.
VennU’s Impact on Healthcare Operations
The platform has already been successfully applied to critical healthcare use cases such as seamless patient transfers, sepsis monitoring, and triage management. It also integrates seamlessly with popular tools like Salesforce and Microsoft Power Tools, empowering healthcare organizations to rapidly scale and enhance patient support services and improve overall effectiveness and efficiency.
