Whether you’re developing a clinical application, records access tool, workflow platform, patient-facing service, or reporting solution, 6B helps you integrate reliably with the electronic document management systems used across NHS secondary care.
Our full-lifecycle service covers discovery, technical design, development, assurance, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. We ensure your integration aligns with local records workflows, NHS interoperability standards, and the security and governance requirements associated with sensitive clinical documentation.
We can support solutions that need to surface documents within the clinician’s existing workflow, helping users reach the right record without switching repeatedly between systems. This can include contextual launching, patient-level linking, and document-level navigation based on the user’s role and current task.
For organisations modernising legacy records, we also help establish practical integration approaches that work across scanned content, digitally generated documents, and mixed-format archives.
Understanding 6B’s Secondary Care EDMS Integration Offering
Electronic document management systems store, organise, and provide access to clinical records across NHS secondary care. They support the management of scanned notes, correspondence, reports, forms, and other documents used by clinicians and administrative teams throughout the patient journey.
Integrating with these platforms can improve access to relevant information, reduce manual document handling, and help users work more efficiently across digital and digitised records. However, EDMS integration can be complex due to differences in document structures, indexing models, local configurations, access controls, and links with systems such as EPRs and patient administration systems.
6B helps digital health vendors and NHS organisations integrate with platforms such as Civica Cito, Kainos Evolve, Hyland OnBase, Misiac MediViewer, C-Cube, and Noveva EDMS. Using standards-based interfaces and vendor-specific APIs, we deliver secure, scalable integrations designed for real-world NHS records environments.
Our Secondary Care EDMS Integration Process
We begin by understanding your product, target EDMS platforms, user workflows, and required document exchanges. During discovery, we map use cases such as document search, retrieval, upload, indexing, viewing, workflow initiation, and clinical record access.
Our specialists then design and develop the integration using the most appropriate route, including APIs, document services, integration engines, or vendor-specific interfaces. We manage patient matching, metadata mapping, document classification, authentication, access controls, validation, and testing to ensure records are exchanged accurately and securely.
Where required, we support Trust assurance, information governance, and clinical safety activities, including DSPT, DTAC, DPIAs, and DCB0129/0160 documentation. Following go-live, we provide monitoring, maintenance, and ongoing optimisation to keep your integration reliable, compliant, and ready to evolve.

Readiness checklist for Secondary Care EDMS Integration
- Define your integration goals, such as document retrieval, upload, indexing, clinical viewing, records search, or workflow automation
- Identify the target EDMS platforms and NHS Trust environments for integration
- Document the required patient, document, metadata, classification, indexing, and access workflows
- Confirm available integration routes, including APIs, document services, integration engines, or vendor-specific interfaces
- Prepare patient-matching, authentication, role-based access, document retention, consent, and audit requirements
- Gather information governance and clinical safety requirements, including DSPT, DTAC, DPIA, and DCB0129/0160 considerations
- Confirm hosting, connectivity, testing, migration, and approval requirements with Trust IT teams, health records stakeholders, and EDMS vendors
