Integrate your digital health solution with Cegedim Vision quickly and reliably using 6B’s expert interoperability services. We specialise in building secure, flexible, and scalable integrations with Vision 3 - enabling efficient data exchange and clinical workflow integration for primary care solutions.
Get in touchWhether you're developing a new digital health product or extending an existing solution with Cegedim Vision integration, 6B brings the technical expertise, healthcare insight, and experience needed to accelerate delivery.
Whether you need to extract patient data in bulk or write data back into Vision 3, 6B works closely with your team to deliver robust integrations that meet technical, clinical, and regulatory standards. Our pre-built Cegedim Vision integration modules accelerate delivery, while our team augmentation model ensures seamless collaboration with your internal development team.
Vision 3 is a leading clinical system used across UK primary care, developed by Cegedim (formerly In Practice Systems). Like EMIS and SystmOne, Vision 3 provides a comprehensive suite of tools for managing patient care, supporting clinical decision-making, and streamlining practice operations.
Built to support shared care across settings, Vision 3 is accessible from GP practices, care homes, and mobile environments. It features intuitive workflows, rich reporting functionality, and strong support for national standards.
Vision 3’s interoperability capabilities make it an ideal platform for connecting third-party digital health solutions focused on patient engagement, diagnostics, care coordination, or long-term condition management.
At 6B, we guide our clients through a collaborative, end-to-end integration process designed to ensure secure, reliable connectivity with Cegedim Vision EHR. We begin with a discovery phase to identify your use case – whether transactional or bulk data exchange – and map it to Cegedim Vision’s available integration pathways.
Our team designs a scalable integration architecture using HL7 FHIR, working either directly within your application or through a standalone integration microservice. We support both synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (bulk) data exchange models, depending on your clinical and operational requirements.
Using Cegedim Vision’s API models, we accelerate development and ensure compliance with Cegedim’s interoperability standards. We perform rigorous testing in staging environments to ensure system performance, security, and data integrity before moving to deployment and go-live.
After launch, we provide ongoing monitoring and support, ensuring your integration stays resilient and aligned with evolving Cegedim Vision capabilities.
Integrating your application with Cegedim Vision enables seamless collaboration with primary care providers and opens access to clinical data in a secure, governed way. Real-time data exchange enhances the accuracy and value of your solution while aligning with NHS data standards.
For clinical teams, integration with Vision 3 reduces duplication, improves information flow, and supports more informed clinical decision-making. For patients, it means more coordinated care and improved outcomes through better use of shared data.
Your solution becomes more attractive to NHS buyers by embedding into core clinical systems like Vision 3 and supporting compliance with national integration frameworks.
We have direct experience developing integrations with Vision 3. Our team understands how to build and deploy solutions that meet the expectations of Cegedim, the NHS, and end users.
Our Cegedim Vision integration components are production-ready and reusable, allowing us to reduce development time and deliver integrations that are consistent, scalable, and cost-effective.
We maintain strong relationships with Cegedim, ensuring that your integration project progresses efficiently through governance, testing, and go-live processes.
6B manages the full integration lifecycle – from infrastructure support and technical development to testing, assurance, and rollout. We keep your team informed and in control throughout the journey.
Our team has experience delivering bespoke, secure integrations across both primary care platforms like Vision, EMIS, and TPP SystmOne, and secondary care systems such as Epic, Cerner, and System C. This cross-sector experience ensures we design integrations that are clinically aligned and technically robust.
Integration with Vision 3 typically uses the NHS IM1 Transaction API to allow applications to read/write patient data, manage consultations, and add documents—enabling real-time and bulk data exchanges from tools like appointment schedulers or decision-support modules.
The IM1 API standard enables real-time interactions with Vision 3, allowing operations such as patient search, demographics retrieval, consultation creation, document filing, and appointment management—all while preserving clinical workflow compatibility.
Yes—Vision 3 supports both synchronous API-based integration for live use cases and asynchronous bulk or background data imports. This flexibility supports diverse workflows from immediate triage triggers to clinical register synchronization.
Integrations must support secure authentication, often via OAuth/OpenID Connect, and comply with NHS information governance (DSPT, ISO 27001). Any clinical messages or record updates must align with national integration and interface standards.
Vision 3 remains a leading EPR system, particularly in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. However Vision 3 is no longer used by GP Practices in England. Vision 3 holds around 10% of UK GP practice market share, making it a key integration target for national health tech deployments.
Typical scenarios include automating appointment scheduling, writing structured documents (e.g. lab results, triage notes), populating clinical decision-support tools, and creating care registers. Embed tools directly within the Vision interface for streamlined workflows.
Challenges include navigating Vision’s controlled API ecosystem, ensuring compliance with local governance, managing clinical safety through structured testing, and adapting to frequent Vision software updates (e.g. DLM releases). Coordination with Cegedim approval is often required.
By leveraging reusable connectors and IM1 API flows, integrations can be deployed across multiple practices and PCNs without redevelopment. Addressing multiple sites within Vision 3 deployments reduces configuration overhead and accelerates scaling.
