Connect a system via API
Choose an integration standard
Select the format your system speaks. NHCIP normalises everything to a common patient record.
HL7 FHIR R4
RECOMMENDEDModern REST API using FHIR resources & bundles (JSON). Best for EMRs and LIS built in the last few years.
HL7 v2.x messaging
ADT, ORU, ORM and other pipe-delimited messages over MLLP or HTTPS. Common in existing hospital systems.
Generic REST / JSON
Your own JSON API. Map your payload to NHCIP fields during setup. Flexible for custom systems.
DHIS2 / national
Connect a DHIS2/NHMIS instance for aggregate exchange with national reporting systems.
Endpoint & authentication
Tell NHCIP where to reach your FHIR R4 system and how to authenticate.
Select resources to exchange
Choose which data types flow between your system and NHCIP, and in which direction.
Test the connection
NHCIP runs a series of checks before any data is exchanged. No records are written during testing.
Connection activated
Your system is now connected to NHCIP. Data will begin flowing on the next sync cycle.
