Integration fabrics for healthcare.
FHIR-native integration across EHR, payer, and regulated health-tech systems. Clinical-safety aware, interoperability-mandate ready.
Overview
Integration fabrics infrastructure for healthcare, built to the standard institutions in this sector are required to operate.
XVICA designs, builds, and operates this layer for healthcare clients in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. The work is specified against the regulatory regime, the operational profile, and the examination expectations of this sector before any code is written.
What healthcare cannot get wrong here.
- Interoperability mandates outpace legacy EHR capabilities.
- Clinical integrations carry patient-safety consequences.
- HL7 v2 is not going away, and FHIR is not optional.
- Integration failures surface as clinical events, not engineering tickets.
Named regimes, mapped controls
Regulatory requirements are translated into explicit control requirements, then mapped to tests and evidence collection. Nothing is implied.
UK healthcare
NHS Interoperability Toolkit, GP Connect, Spine connectivity, shared care records, and NHS DSPT.
US healthcare
21st Century Cures Act information-blocking rule, TEFCA, USCDI data elements, and HL7 FHIR US Core.
Standards
HL7 FHIR R4/R5, HL7 v2, SNOMED CT, ICD-10, dm+d, OpenEHR, IHE profiles, and DICOM where imaging is in scope.
Design decisions distinctive to this intersection
Components and design choices that recur across our work for this sector. Each deployment is specified individually.
FHIR-first
Internal canonical is FHIR R4/R5. HL7 v2 and legacy formats translated at the fabric boundary, not scattered across systems.
Clinical-safety hazard classification
Integrations affecting clinical surfaces carry hazard classifications reviewed by a named Clinical Safety Officer.
Terminology versioning
SNOMED, dm+d, and ICD versions are explicit. Upgrades are planned events with reviewed impact.
Regional and national connectivity
Spine, GP Connect, shared care records, and regional HIE platforms integrated through the same fabric used for internal flows.
PHI/PII boundary enforcement
De-identification, tokenisation, and access scoping at the fabric layer, not per integration.
How we work in healthcare.
Healthcare integration has a characteristic no commercial estate shares: an integration failure is a potential patient-safety event, and the people who judge whether it is one are Clinical Safety Officers with named accountability. Our approach builds to their review as a first-class property. FHIR is the internal canonical; HL7 v2 and bespoke feeds are translated deliberately at the fabric boundary rather than drifting through the estate; clinical-safety hazards are classified and mitigated in-system. What this typically changes is the economics of interoperability mandates: information-blocking compliance, Spine integration, or a TEFCA-adjacent programme stops being a bespoke project for each surface and becomes a standard-practice extension of an already-governed layer. The CSO gets their evidence; the integrations team stops fighting fires.
How engagements run
Three canonical commercial models. The right one depends on your in-house capability roadmap and risk appetite.
License and operate a ready platform
Deploy an XVICA-developed platform configured for your environment. Optional managed operations under SLA.
Partnership modelCo-Build + OperateLong-term joint build
XVICA leads engineering; your team provides domain ownership and governance. Outcome-based commercial structure.
Partnership modelBuild-Operate-TransferBuild it, run it, hand it over
Designed, built, and operated to a specified maturity threshold, then transferred with documentation and runbooks.
Partnership modelIntegration fabrics elsewhere
The same engineering discipline applied to neighbouring industries. Regulatory regime and operating profile differ; the standard does not.
Integration for financial institutions
SWIFT, ISO 20022, FIX, and payment-rail connectivity on one governed fabric — not accumulated middleware. Observable, resilient, evidenced.
Read onIntegration for enterprise
One governed layer across ERP, SaaS, legacy middleware, EDI, and industry protocols. Observable, reversible, built for incremental modernisation.
Read onIntegration for public sector
Cross-department and central-to-local connectivity on a governed, open-standards fabric. Service Standard-aligned, accredited, built to survive machinery-of-government changes.
