Whether you’re developing a clinical decision support tool, patient flow platform, triage solution, reporting service, or patient-facing application, 6B helps you integrate reliably with the systems used across NHS emergency and urgent care.
Our full-lifecycle service covers discovery, technical design, development, assurance, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. We ensure your integration aligns with local clinical workflows, NHS interoperability standards, and the security and safety requirements associated with time-critical care.
Understanding 6B’s Secondary Care Emergency/Urgent Care System Integration Offering
Emergency and urgent care systems support critical workflows across emergency departments, urgent treatment centres, out-of-hours services, ambulance services, and other unscheduled care settings. They manage information such as patient arrivals, triage, assessments, observations, treatment, discharge, and onward referrals.
Integrating with these platforms can improve access to real-time patient information, reduce duplicate data entry, support more efficient patient flow, and help clinical teams make informed decisions quickly. However, integration can be complex due to local configurations, specialist workflows, proprietary interfaces, and the need to exchange data reliably in high-pressure environments.
6B helps digital health vendors and NHS organisations integrate with platforms such as Optum Symphony, Cleo, OneAdvanced Adastra, and ESO Siren Nova. Using standards including HL7 v2 and FHIR, alongside vendor-specific APIs and interfaces, we deliver secure, scalable integrations designed for real-world urgent and emergency care services.
Our Secondary Care Emergency/Urgent Care System Integration Process
We begin by understanding your product, target systems, clinical use cases, and required data flows. During discovery, we map workflows such as patient registration, triage, clinical assessment, observations, investigations, treatment, discharge, and care handovers.
Our specialists then design and develop the integration using the most appropriate route, including HL7 messaging, FHIR APIs, integration engines, or vendor-specific interfaces. We manage data mapping, patient matching, authentication, validation, and testing to ensure information is exchanged accurately, securely, and without disrupting time-critical workflows.
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 Emergency/Urgent Care System Integration
- Define your integration goals, such as patient registration, triage support, clinical assessment, patient flow, discharge, or care handovers
- Identify the target emergency and urgent care platforms and NHS service environments for integration
- Document the required patient, attendance, triage, observation, treatment, referral, and discharge data flows
- Confirm available integration routes, including HL7 v2, FHIR APIs, integration engines, or vendor-specific interfaces
- Prepare patient-matching, authentication, role-based access, consent, and audit requirements
- Gather information governance and clinical safety requirements, including DSPT, DTAC, DPIA, and DCB0129/0160 considerations
- Confirm hosting, connectivity, testing, and approval requirements with Trust IT teams, clinical stakeholders, ambulance services, and system vendors
