Hospitals data integration

Hospitals combine clinical systems, building automation, medical gases, imaging and equipment tracking, and many of these are safety critical or contain personal data.

Example use case

An estates team monitors isolation room pressure and air changes from BACnet controllers, relates them to room occupancy from FHIR Location data and tracks infusion pumps via BLE tags, so cleaning and maintenance can be scheduled without disturbing patient care.

Typical sources and transports

BACnet/IP for HVAC, BLE gateways publishing to MQTT, HL7 FHIR R4 with OAuth2 for operational context, DICOMweb for imaging metadata, and change-data capture from CMMS databases.

What the data means

Building values carry units and setpoints; equipment positions are zone-level estimates; FHIR fields are kept with code systems. Patient-level data should be pseudonymised or aggregated at source.

Prerequisites

Before connecting hospitals sources, prepare an inventory of systems and owners, interface documentation for each one, read-only credentials and approved network paths. Agree identifiers, units and time zones early, and name a person who can confirm values against the source during commissioning.

Integration scope

ALLINLET collects and normalises hospital data through read-only integrations. It does not control medical equipment or provide clinical decisions. FHIR and DICOM connections require authorisation from the hospital and validation against its systems before use.
