As experienced Access Rio integration partners, 6B works with NHS Trusts, startups, and health tech vendors to build robust, standards-based interoperability with Access Rio EPR. Whether you’re developing a clinical application, patient engagement tool, or decision support system, we provide full-lifecycle support from design through to deployment and beyond.
Our mission is to help healthcare innovators achieve seamless integration with core systems – unlocking efficiency, improving clinical outcomes, and supporting NHS digital transformation.
Access Rio is a widely used electronic patient record (EPR) system in the UK, particularly within community, child, and mental health settings. Built to support holistic, multi-agency care, Rio offers a flexible, future-ready platform for care delivery and patient engagement.
The system provides rich functionality, including mobile-enabled workflows, detailed test result management, structured assessments, and care coordination tools. Designed with NHS and government policies in mind, Rio enables secure collaboration between practitioners across settings – supporting improved outcomes and safer, more efficient care.
Rio’s architecture supports modern interoperability needs through its Integration Hub (formerly Conexes), which enables secure, bi-directional data exchange with third-party systems. For patients, this means more consistent, coordinated care; for providers, it supports paperless working, cost savings, and improved service delivery.
At 6B, we guide our clients through a collaborative, end-to-end integration process designed to ensure secure, reliable connectivity with Access Rio EPR. We begin with a discovery phase to identify your use case – whether transactional or bulk data exchange – and map it to Access Rio’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 Rio’s Integration Hub and tested FHIR models, we accelerate development and ensure compliance with Access’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 Rio capabilities.
Integrating with Access Rio EPR delivers clear benefits for both patients and care providers. Clinicians gain real-time access to the data they need, reducing the risk of missed information and enabling more informed, coordinated care across settings. Integration eliminates manual data entry, improves accuracy, and drives efficiency – especially in high-demand community and mental health workflows.
For patients, connected systems support better continuity of care, easier self-management, and a more holistic view of their health journey. They benefit from faster communication, consistent service delivery, and greater confidence in how their data is handled and shared.
At the system level, Rio integration helps providers align with NHS digital goals, reduce reliance on paper records, and increase their capacity for population health insights through clean, centralised data exchange.
We’ve delivered integrations with Access Rio EPR, the Rio Integration Hub (formerly Conexes), and other Access products like Access Mosaic. Our understanding of Rio’s evolving architecture allows us to build connections that are reliable, future-proof, and compatible with wider Access ecosystems.
Our solutions use HL7 FHIR and proven authentication protocols to ensure secure, standards-aligned data exchange. Whether embedded in your application or delivered as a standalone microservice, we design for flexibility, scalability, and NHS-grade compliance from the ground up.
6B has developed a suite of reusable FHIR components, authentication flows, and message handlers that speed up project timelines without compromising on quality. These tools are tailored to meet Access integration standards and reduce friction in the development lifecycle.
We manage the entire integration process in-house, from initial planning and technical design to implementation, testing, and go-live support. Our structured approach ensures predictable delivery, robust QA, and a smooth transition into live environments.
Our team partners with health tech companies of all sizes – startups, public health departments, and enterprise vendors – bringing broad experience across both public and private healthcare to help you navigate regulatory, technical, and clinical requirements.
Integrating with Access Rio EPR involves ensuring compliance with various technical standards and protocols, including HL7 FHIR for data exchange. Your system must support secure API communication, robust data encryption, and user authentication measures. Additionally, inline with your wider digital health solution compliance, adherence to NHS DTAC, NHS DSPT, and GDPR regulations is mandatory to safeguard patient data and maintain confidentiality.
Yes, 6B specialises in developing real-time bi-directional data exchange capabilities with Access Rio EPR. Using HL7 FHIR standards, we enable your system to communicate instantaneously with Access Rio, ensuring that patient data is updated and accessible in real time. This functionality is crucial for applications requiring up-to-the-minute information for patient care.
6B takes a modular development approach that allows for seamless scalability of Access Rio integration solutions. Each release is designed to accommodate future expansions without compromising performance or quality. Our integration solutions are built to handle increased data loads and user interactions, making them suitable for growing healthcare applications.
6B implements comprehensive security protocols to protect patient data during Access Rio integrations. These measures include end-to-end encryption, secure API gateways, multi-factor authentication, and detailed audit trails. We ensure compliance with NHS DTAC and DSPT, ISO27001, GDPR, and other relevant regulations, providing real-time monitoring and access tracking to maintain the highest security standards.
6B offers extensive support throughout the Access Rio integration process. Our team of consultants and engineers works closely with you from initial planning to deployment, ensuring a smooth Access Rio integration experience. Post-integration, we provide ongoing support, maintenance, and optimisation services, helping you adapt to evolving needs and maintain efficient operations. Our support includes troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and updates to keep your Access Rio integration compliant and functional.
