EMR Integration Services for Labs
Lifepoint Informatics provides managed EMR integration services for clinical labs, hospital outreach programs, pathology groups and diagnostic centers. We build, run and monitor the EMR interface between your LIS and your referring providers’ EMRs, so orders arrive electronically and results post straight into the patient chart. One connection from your LIS to our EMRHub reaches every EMR your providers use, with no new hardware and no added IT staff.

What Are EMR Integration Services?
EMR integration services connect a lab’s information system (LIS) to the electronic medical record (EMR) systems its referring providers use, so test orders and results move electronically instead of by fax, portal login or manual entry. At Lifepoint Informatics the service covers the whole project: scoping each connection with the practice and its EMR vendor, mapping your test compendium, building and testing the EMR interface, go-live, and 24/7 monitoring afterward.
Every EMR interface starts on the lab side. We connect once to your LIS, then send results to, and accept orders from, as many provider EMRs as you add. Labs use it to keep the practices they have, win the ones that now require EMR connectivity before they send work, and compete with national labs that already offer it. That is what we mean by Connect, Compete and Comply.
What Our EMR Integration Services Include
- Project management from scoping to go-live: a Lifepoint project manager coordinates with each EMR vendor and your LIS vendor, so your team is not chasing interface specs.
- Compendium management and translation tables: we map your test codes to what each EMR expects and keep the mapping current as your test menu changes.
- EMR interface build and testing: results-only (uni-directional) or orders and results (bi-directional), in HL7, with FHIR, CCD, XML, SFTP and API options where the EMR supports them.
- 24/7 monitoring and support at no extra charge: every live interface is watched on a real-time dashboard with audit tracking.
- Hosting in two data centers: redundant, encrypted, access-controlled hosting, so there is no server for you to buy or maintaing

FAQ:
Which EMRs does Lifepoint Informatics connect to?
Lifepoint Informatics supports more than 500 EMR vendors, including Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Veradigm (Allscripts), Meditech, Practice Fusion, PointClickCare, MDLand and CureMD. If a practice you serve runs a system not on that list, call (877) 522-8378 and our team will confirm it before you commit.
Does our lab need an LIS interface before we can connect to EMRs?
Yes. Every EMR interface starts on the lab side, because orders have to land in your LIS and results have to leave it. Lifepoint Informatics builds one interface from your LIS to EMRHub, and every EMR connection after that reuses it. That single connection is what lets labs add practices quickly instead of building each one point to point.
Who pays for the EMR interface, the lab or the physician practice?
In lab outreach the lab usually pays, because the interface is how the lab earns and keeps the practice’s work. Many EMR vendors also charge their own fee for each new connection, which the lab typically covers. For practices that send low volume, a provider portal can be the more economical option. Lifepoint Informatics scopes both options with you so the interface spend follows the volume.
Should a low-volume practice get an EMR interface or use a provider portal?
Match the tool to the volume. A practice that sends steady volume should get an EMR interface so results land in the chart without anyone logging in. A small or occasional sender is often better served by the Lifepoint provider portal, which costs far less to run and still gives electronic ordering and results. Many labs use both, and Lifepoint Informatics offers both.
Can results that an EMR will not accept still reach the provider?
Yes. Many EMRs will not take long anatomic pathology reports or imaging results. Lifepoint Informatics routes those to its provider portal, and delivers standard results to the EMR as discrete data, PDF or HTML, so the practice still receives everything and nothing is lost in the handoff.
Does Lifepoint use HL7 or FHIR?
Both. Most lab orders and results still run on HL7 version 2 today, and Lifepoint Informatics uses FHIR where the EMR supports it. We also work with CCD, CCR, XML, SFTP and APIs, and connect over VPN or SFTP, choosing the format each EMR actually accepts.
How is patient data protected?
Lifepoint Informatics hosts EMRHub in two data centers with encryption, access controls and audit tracking, and designs its interfaces to meet HIPAA requirements for protected health information. Every interface is monitored 24/7 and every transaction is logged for audit. Ask our team for security documentation and a business associate agreement as part of scoping.
What happens if an EMR interface stops working?
Our support team sees it on the EMR Interface Dashboard Monitor, where each interface shows green, yellow or red. Alerts go out by email, Lifepoint interface specialists work the fix with the EMR vendor, and support is included at no extra charge. Staffed support is available weekdays 8:30 am to 8:00 pm at (201) 447-9991, with on-call coverage nights and weekends.
Does Lifepoint Informatics replace our LIS or the practice's EMR?
No. Lifepoint Informatics is middleware: it sits between your LIS and the practices’ EMRs and connects them. You keep your LIS, your providers keep their EMRs, and EMRHub moves orders and results between them. Nothing has to be ripped out or re-trained, which is why a new practice can be connected without changing how your lab works.
What types of labs use Lifepoint EMR interfaces?
Clinical and reference laboratories, hospital outreach labs, anatomic pathology groups, genomic, toxicology and virology labs, radiology and diagnostic imaging centers, physician office labs, and veterinary and forensic labs. The common need is the same: get orders in and results out to the EMRs their providers use.
