Overview

The Integration Hub manages all external system integrations via HL7 v2, FHIR R4, and REST APIs. It provides endpoint configuration, message routing, transformation mappings, and real-time logging for data exchange with lab analyzers, PACS systems, insurance portals, government health registries (ABDM), and third-party applications. Access at /dashboard/integration-hub.
