Connect Your Work

Healthcare connections require privacy, security, and governance review. Start with one narrow, read-only or controlled-export use case, and never give an AI broad chart access by default.

Easy start

Start with a limited, low-risk connection your team can test quickly.

Start With Approved, De-Identified Files

Access: approved, minimum-necessary and de-identified reports, policies, and templates
Useful for: documentation, quality, policy, and operations review packets
Setup & limit: use controlled copies and a named reviewer; do not upload protected health information unless your organization has approved the use

Google Workspace Administrative Files

Access: approved Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and shared administrative files through the available app
Useful for: policy search, meeting context, and non-clinical follow-up
Setup & limit: scope to an approved folder or mailbox and do not treat it as a clinical-record connection

Microsoft 365 Administrative Files

Access: SharePoint files a signed-in user is permitted to access
Useful for: controlled policies, templates, meeting materials, and operational reports
Setup & limit: begin with a selected site or folder; administrative approval may be required

Integration project

Plan the use case, source data, permissions, and owner before connecting.

Epic: SMART on FHIR Integration

Access: permitted Epic clinical data through SMART on FHIR and supported standards
Useful for: a narrowly governed in-workflow application or review workflow
Setup & limit: requires health-system approval, authorization, and clinical safety review; start read-only

Oracle Health Millennium: SMART on FHIR

Access: authorized EHR resources through Oracle Health Millennium FHIR or EHR APIs
Useful for: controlled data retrieval for an approved workflow
Setup & limit: work with the health-system administrator; SMART authorization and explicit scopes are required

Revenue Cycle & Payer Work

Access: approved claims, authorization, denial, and payer-policy data through a vendor-supported API or controlled export
Useful for: worklists and evidence packets, not billing decisions
Setup & limit: coding, claims submission, appeals, and payer communications remain with authorized staff

Imaging & Diagnostic Systems

Access: permitted diagnostic reports or imaging-system data via a vendor-supported, clinically validated workflow
Useful for: administrative routing and report-availability worklists
Setup & limit: do not use a general AI connection for image interpretation or clinical diagnosis

Your Internal Health Systems

Access: an approved API, governed report, or controlled export
Useful for: one narrow, review-only recurring job
Setup & limit: document data minimization, authorized roles, audit logging, and prohibited actions before implementation

Good to know

Useful limits and honest gaps to keep in mind before you connect anything.

FHIR & SMART on FHIR Foundation

Access: healthcare clinical and administrative data through standards-based exchange where the organization permits it
Useful for: planning a vendor-neutral, governed integration
Setup & limit: FHIR is an interoperability standard, not a one-click AI connector; technical, privacy, and clinical governance remain required

Scheduling, CRM & Contact Center Exports

Access: approved, minimum-necessary appointment, referral, or communication exports
Useful for: access worklists, no-show follow-up, and operational demand review
Setup & limit: use a controlled export first; people review outreach and do not expose unnecessary patient information

What to Avoid at First

Access: do not begin with broad longitudinal charts, behavioral-health records, sensitive results, or unrestricted staff records
Useful for: choosing a small, reversible first connection
Setup & limit: never let AI diagnose, prescribe, triage, send patient messages, alter a record, submit a claim, or make a privacy decision

Use the minimum necessary information

Start with an approved source, a narrow use case, and a named owner. Expand only after privacy, clinical, and operational reviewers approve the result.

12 AI Agents for Healthcare Teams

An agent prepares one recurring job from authorized information for a named reviewer. It never makes clinical or consequential decisions.

What makes an AI agent useful

A good first agent handles one task your team already does. Give it the information it needs, tell it when to stop, and have a person check the work.
