Trusted by NHS organisations, healthcare providers, and healthtech innovators, 6B delivers full-lifecycle CareFlow EPMA integration, from discovery and architecture through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. We build secure, scalable integrations for prescribing support, medication safety alerts, pharmacy workflows, patient-facing medicines services, stock management, and operational dashboards.
Our team combines medicines management knowledge with expertise in healthcare APIs, HL7 FHIR, HL7 messaging, dm+d terminology, event-driven integration, identity management, and clinical safety. We support established medication workflows while protecting data integrity, maintaining auditability, and minimising disruption for clinical and operational teams.
Understanding System C CareFlow EPMA
CareFlow EPMA is System C’s web-based electronic prescribing and medicines administration solution for acute, mental health, and community care. It replaces paper drug charts with structured digital workflows supporting prescribing, clinical review, administration, supply, and discharge.
The platform provides access to medication records and clinical decision support designed to reduce prescribing and administration errors. It supports inpatient and outpatient workflows and can operate alongside CareFlow Pharmacy and CareFlow EPR.
When connected with CareFlow Pharmacy, it enables closed-loop workflows across prescribing, verification, dispensing, stock management, supply, and administration. The platform can scale across individual organisations, multiple sites, and regional care models.
System C’s interoperability approach includes FHIR-based standards and integration with external health and care systems.
Our System C CareFlow EPMA Integration Process
We begin with structured discovery involving pharmacy, medical, nursing, digital, technical, and governance stakeholders. Together, we define medicines workflows, users, data requirements, safety constraints, and intended outcomes.
Typical integrations include active medication records, prescribing recommendations, allergy information, medicines reconciliation, safety alerts, dispensing, stock systems, and medicines analytics.
We map patient identifiers, encounters, allergies, medication orders, dose instructions, routes, frequencies, administrations, omissions, discontinuations, pharmacy verification, dispensing status, and discharge medicines.
Architecture may use FHIR APIs, REST services, HL7 messages, integration engines, database interfaces, secure web services, or event-driven messaging. We define mappings for dm+d, local drug dictionaries, formularies, dose units, routes, frequencies, and medication statuses.
Authentication can support OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, NHS CIS2, single sign-on, service accounts, and role-based access.
Reusable components accelerate delivery, including FHIR handlers, HL7 parsers, medication mappings, validation rules, and routing pipelines. Secure testing validates patient matching, medication coding, dose instructions, clinical rules, permissions, sequencing, audit trails, failure recovery, and downtime reconciliation.
Before launch, we coordinate acceptance testing, clinical safety review, deployment, and documentation. After go-live, we monitor performance, resolve issues, and maintain compatibility with CareFlow and NHS changes.
Benefits of System C CareFlow EPMA Integration
Prescribers gain connected access to allergies, medicines, observations, previous prescriptions, and decision support at the point of care.
Pharmacists benefit from timely prescription information, reduced rekeying, improved status visibility, and more efficient verification, dispensing, and supply.
Nurses gain accurate schedules, dose instructions, administration records, and omission reasons. Connected observations and task tools can support safer administration and escalation.
Patients benefit from more coordinated medicines management and more accurate information when moving between services or being discharged.
Operational teams gain visibility of prescribing, administration, omitted doses, antimicrobial use, expenditure, pharmacy workload, and stock levels.
For healthtech vendors, CareFlow EPMA integration provides reusable, standards-based access to established NHS medicines management workflows.

System C CareFlow EPMA Integration FAQs
What is System C CareFlow EPMA?
What is System C CareFlow EPMA?
CareFlow EPMA is an Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration system used to digitise medicines workflows. It supports prescribing, clinical review, administration, reconciliation, and medicines supply across inpatient and outpatient settings.
Can CareFlow EPMA integrate with third-party systems?
Can CareFlow EPMA integrate with third-party systems?
Yes. CareFlow EPMA can operate within the wider CareFlow Medicines Management and EPR ecosystem or connect with external PAS, EPR, pharmacy, pathology, clinical decision-support, and reporting platforms. The available interfaces depend on the organisation’s deployment.
What information can be exchanged with CareFlow EPMA?
What information can be exchanged with CareFlow EPMA?
An integration may exchange patient demographics, admissions, transfers, discharges, allergies, medicines, prescriptions, administration records, medication reconciliation data, pharmacy statuses, clinical alerts, and discharge medication information.
Can CareFlow EPMA integrate with pharmacy systems?
Can CareFlow EPMA integrate with pharmacy systems?
Yes. CareFlow Medicines Management combines EPMA and pharmacy capabilities to support prescribing, clinical verification, administration, dispensing, and stock-related workflows. It can also be integrated with other pharmacy and medicines systems where suitable interfaces are available.
Does CareFlow EPMA support closed-loop medicines administration?

Readiness checklist for System C CareFlow EPMA Integration
- Define the medicines workflows and use cases your integration will support, such as prescribing, clinical verification, administration, reconciliation, dispensing, stock management, or reporting.
- Identify the CareFlow EPMA, CareFlow Pharmacy, CareFlow EPR, PAS, and third-party systems involved in each workflow.
- Confirm which APIs, FHIR resources, HL7 messages, integration-engine interfaces, or other connection methods are available within the target deployment.
- Map patient identifiers, encounters, allergies, medication orders, dose instructions, administrations, omissions, discontinuations, dispensing events, and discharge medicines across both systems.
- Confirm how dm+d identifiers, local drug dictionaries, formularies, routes, dose units, frequencies, and medication statuses will be mapped and validated.
- Define which system will act as the source of truth for each data type and how corrections, duplicates, conflicting updates, and downtime reconciliation will be managed.
- Confirm authentication, authorisation, NHS CIS2, single sign-on, role-based access, encryption, service-account, and audit-logging requirements.
- Prepare governance and clinical safety documentation, including your lawful basis, DPIA, DSPT position, and applicable DCB0129 or DCB0160 responsibilities.
- Develop a testing plan covering synthetic data, allergy conflicts, duplicate prescriptions, dose changes, omitted administrations, discontinued medicines, patient transfers, peak volumes, downtime, and clinical user acceptance.
- Agree deployment, training, monitoring, incident management, change control, supplier coordination, and ongoing support arrangements before production go-live.
