Healthcare is full of good ideas that never quite make it to the front lines. Brilliant products are built and piloted, but when it’s time to integrate with care team workflows, progress stalls. Integrations take months, sometimes years. EHRs are complex. Distribution is slow.
It’s a story we’ve heard again and again. And it’s exactly why we built Vim Connect.
In our last post, we covered why Vim Connect matters, for healthcare, for builders, and for care teams. Now, let’s talk about what it is.
What is Vim Connect?
Vim Connect is a care-team-first ecosystem that enables innovators to bring their solutions directly to the point of care. At the same time, it empowers practices and care teams to easily explore and choose the solutions that meet their needs and have been thoughtfully reviewed and validated for workflow fit and clinical value.
What do innovators experience with Vim Connect?
Innovators can build once and deploy across EHRs, with access to workflow events, context-aware data, and in-flow visibility right where care happens.
Apps built on Vim Connect work out-of-the-box across all supported EHRs. Instead of spending months on custom integration work, Vim Connect provides innovators with the infrastructure they need to launch smoothly and scale rapidly. The Vim Connect Marketplace creates instant visibility and growth opportunities with Vim’s network of over 50K care team members. Whether you want to support your existing customers or grow your customer base, or both, Vim Connect gives you the infrastructure to succeed.
Standards like SMART on FHIR sound promising. But in practice, they often fall short. Launch points are limited. Workflow context is missing. Access to data is incomplete. And every EHR handles “the standard” differently, forcing developers to rebuild again and again.
Vim Connect changes the game by doing the hard work for you. It standardizes workflow events and data across EHRs and exposes them through a single, developer-friendly interface. A modern SDK handles the messy backend work. A powerful sandbox lets you build, test, and iterate with confidence.
What do care teams experience with Vim Connect?
For care teams, Vim Connect delivers what matters most: tools that actually show up where care happens.
Through the Vim Connect Marketplace, providers can easily discover, compare, and try new apps that fit directly into their existing EHR workflows. No extra systems, no new logins, and no disruption.
Practices also get flexibility. Whether you prefer a tightly managed environment or want to empower teams to select tools independently, Vim Connect gives you the governance options to define what works best for your organization.
Apps built on Vim Connect are already tackling important challenges such as:
- AI documentation and scribing
- Risk adjustment and quality performance
- Revenue cycle automation
- Medication management and patient affordability
- Referral and care coordination
Every new app added to the marketplace expands an ecosystem of trusted, embedded solutions that make care delivery more connected and efficient.
What’s next?
We’re moving fast on all fronts: expanding support for more EHRs, unlocking new workflows and data entities, and making it easier than ever to reach the market. With every update, we’re reducing the technical lift required to build applications, empowering healthcare innovators, healthcare organizations, and ultimately even individual care team members, to create tools that improve their daily work.
The world is changing. It’s time healthcare caught up. This is just the beginning.
