Most of the setup process and instructions you can find Third-Party App Setup and Support Guide on Galaxy. This document serves as a supplement - it adds details specific to Way to Health, and points you to specific sections of the Galaxy document as not all portions of that document are necessary.

The Way to Health platform powers a diverse range of programs with different workflows and integration needs. Our app listings specify the broadest set of APIs and interfaces we use, but each connected health program will only use a subset. In this document we’ll try to specify which features, which setup, and which apps are required for specific types of connected health programs.

Much of this setup is applicable to all Way to Health programs - once the Embed is set up for one program, no additional IT setup is required to launch a second (or third, or thirty-third) program. If a future program requires an additional integration point (such as an outbound ADT feed), subsequent programs will be able to use that with no additional IT setup. The only exception is flowsheet rows and inbasket pools, which typically are set up per-program or at least per-care team or per type of data.

Your Way to Health implementation lead will guide your clinical, operational, and IT teams in deciding which features are needed for the specific program(s) you are implementing.

Information to send to Way to Health

	When do we need this?	Example
Patient ID Type	Always	“MRN”, “HUP MRN”, “MR”, etc.
Interconnect Base URLs Prod OAuth Non-prod OAuth	Embed	`https://vendorservices.epic.com/interconnect-amcurprd-oauth/`
Interconnect Base URLs Prod Basic Auth Non-prod Basic Auth	Backend App (flowsheet, inbasket)	`https://vendorservices.epic.com/interconnect-amcurprd-username/`

Network configuration	If needed to access Interconnect
VPN info To be worked out between your networking/security team and our sysadmin team	If we’re using a TCP-based HL7 feed (in either direction) For inbound HL7 flowsheet, we can use the HL7v2 webservice instead

Epic embed

Desktop Integration

The Galaxy document Create Integration Records for Active Guidelines describes how to create the embedded view. Here are the details you’ll need to supply as you complete that setup:

Recommended method, using SMART launch

	`userFirstName`	`%USERFNAME%`
	`userLastName`	`%USERLNAME%`
	`mrn`	`%EPTID;;; ; ;nnnn;NONE;%` Instead of `nnnn`, use the ID type that w2h will use. See the launch token library for details.
	`csn`	`%CSN%` In some contexts this value will be empty, but if the embed is launched in the context of an encounter, having the CSN is useful for some workflows

Flowsheet

via WebServices

Sending data to flowsheets is part of the Premium Epic Integration package. It requires installing the Way to Health - Backend app from Connection Hub, and incurs an additional cost

We need the following information:

For each data point (e.g. systolic blood pressure), we need the flowsheet ID and flowsheet template ID. These correspond to the

You should name the flowsheet rows to be clear that this

via HL7

Inbasket

Base requirements:

Webservices access (see “User and Security Setup” above)
Requires installing backend app

Project setup

We need Pool ID (HIP.1)
We typically send messages as Staff Message (message id type = 1). Sending messages into other folders requires more complex setup - consult your Epic TS for details on which message types can receive messages via API.

Other optional setup
