Whether you’re developing a clinical decision support tool, medicines management platform, patient-facing application, or specialist workflow solution, 6B helps you integrate reliably with the ePMA systems used across NHS secondary care.
Our full-lifecycle service covers discovery, solution design, interface development, assurance, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. We ensure your integration fits within existing clinical workflows, meets NHS interoperability and safety requirements, and is designed to operate securely in complex Trust environments.
Understanding 6B’s Secondary Care ePMA Integration Offering
Electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems support critical medication workflows across NHS secondary care, including prescribing, clinical verification, dispensing, administration, and medicines reconciliation. Integrating with these platforms can improve access to medication data, reduce duplicate entry, and enable safer, more efficient clinical workflows.
However, ePMA integration can be complex due to differences in platform capabilities, local Trust configurations, data models, and prescribing processes. Integrations must also account for medication terminology, patient identity, allergies, dosage instructions, access controls, and clinical safety requirements.
6B helps digital health vendors and NHS organisations integrate with leading platforms such as System C CareFlow EPMA, Civica Prescribing, Optum ePMA, Altera ePMA, and Dedalus MedChart. Using standards such as HL7 v2 and FHIR alongside vendor-specific interfaces, we deliver secure, scalable integrations designed for real-world hospital environments.
Our Secondary Care ePMA Integration Process
We begin by understanding your product, clinical use cases, target ePMA platforms, and required data flows. During discovery, we assess workflows such as medication record access, prescribing support, administration updates, allergy information, and medicines reconciliation.
Our specialists then design and develop the integration using the most appropriate route, including HL7 v2, FHIR APIs, integration engines, or vendor-specific interfaces. We handle data mapping, patient matching, medication coding, authentication, and testing to ensure information is exchanged accurately and securely.
Where required, we also support Trust assurance, information governance, and clinical safety activities, including DTAC, DSPT, DPIAs, and DCB0129/0160 documentation. Following go-live, we provide ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and optimisation to keep your integration reliable, compliant, and ready to evolve.

Readiness checklist for Secondary Care ePMA Integration
- Define your integration goals, such as medication record access, prescribing support, administration workflows, medicines reconciliation, or clinical decision support
- Identify the target ePMA platforms and NHS Trust environments for integration
- Document the required medication, patient, encounter, allergy, and administration data flows
- Confirm available integration routes, including HL7 v2, FHIR APIs, integration engines, or vendor-specific interfaces
- Prepare authentication, role-based access, consent, audit, and patient-matching requirements
- Gather information governance and clinical safety requirements, including DSPT, DTAC, DPIA, and DCB0129/0160 considerations
- Confirm hosting, connectivity, testing, and deployment requirements with Trust IT teams, pharmacy stakeholders, and ePMA vendors
