Get in touch

As trusted partners to health-tech vendors, hospital trusts, integrated care networks and enterprise providers, 6B offers full-lifecycle integration with ORBIS U—from discovery and architecture through development, deployment and long-term support. Whether you’re building decision-support modules, mobile documentation tools, patient-portal integrations, analytics exports or care-coordination extensions, our integrations are designed to be robust, scalable and aligned with your clinical, governance and interoperability requirements.

With deep experience across complex EPR/EHR ecosystems, our team understands how to align your solution with ORBIS U’s architecture and partner interfaces—ensuring smooth, safe, maintainable integration that supports evolving care models and future-proofs your investment.

Understanding Orbis U Integration

ORBIS U is a highly configurable EPR system, developed over 25+ years, with more than 68 integrated clinical modules covering medical, nursing, administrative, billing and care-management workflows. It is installed in over 1,000 hospitals across Europe and supports inpatient, outpatient, acute, rehabilitation and mental-health environments.

The platform emphasises ease of use, device independence (desktop, tablet, mobile), and a clinical-first interface design that seeks to minimise administrative burden and support decision-making. ORBIS U supports cloud-ready deployment options (including AWS public cloud), modern microservices architecture, and extensive standards-based interoperability capabilities (such as FHIR, HL7, DICOM, SNOMED).

Its modularity and extensibility mean that third-party tools—patient-engagement apps, tele-monitoring modules, analytics dashboards, custom forms, toolbar extensions—can be embedded into the ORBIS U environment and interact with its data model in real time. By integrating your solution with ORBIS U, you gain access to a mature, enterprise-grade EPR ecosystem that values usability, interoperability and flexibility.

Our Dedalus ORBIS U Integration Process

At 6B, we begin with a Discovery & Planning phase where we work with your team to define integration use-cases (for example: decision-support alerts, mobile documentation, patient portal data flows, analytics export, device integration). We identify the relevant ORBIS U modules, partner-extension frameworks, APIs/web-services and map those to your clinical workflows, user contexts and governance requirements.

Next, during Architecture & Design, we develop a secure, scalable integration framework aligned with ORBIS U’s environment. Key elements include authentication and authorisation (e.g., OAuth2, token-based or single sign-on), data-mapping and transformation into ORBIS U’s data model, event triggers or message routing, audit-logging, user context modelling, and error-handling mechanisms. We ensure your solution fits within the trust’s or network’s security, performance and compliance needs.

During Development & Testing, we leverage our library of reusable integration assets—API connectors, data‐mapping templates, authentication modules, message routers—to accelerate build time while maintaining quality, security and consistency. We carry out sandbox and staging environment testing to validate workflow alignment, data integrity, performance, audit traceability and error/resilience conditions, prior to production rollout.

In the Deployment & Go-Live phase, we coordinate partner registration or configuration within the ORBIS U extension/partner ecosystem, manage credentialing, user-acceptance testing, production configuration, and real-world monitoring of the live system. After launch, we provide Ongoing Maintenance & Support—tracking ORBIS U version updates, API changes, module upgrades, performance metrics and ensuring your integration remains operational, compliant and future-proof.

Benefits of Dedalus ORBIS U Integration

Clinicians gain seamless access to your solution’s data and functionality within the familiar ORBIS U workflow—reducing duplication, minimising context switching and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

Patients benefit from more connected care through integrated portals, mobile tools, smoother transitions across settings and richer data continuity captured in the ORBIS U EPR.

Organisations (hospitals, trusts, networks) realise improved operational efficiency through streamlined data flows, enhanced interoperability, reduced administrative burden, and better alignment with digital-health transformation goals.

For health-tech vendors, integration within the ORBIS U ecosystem opens access to a large hospital user-base, accelerates adoption via embedded workflow connectivity, supports scalability through standards-based architecture and enhances market visibility.

ORBIS U Integration FAQs

Typical domains include Patient, Encounter, Medication, Observation, DocumentReference, Imaging/Lab Results, Scheduling/Appointment, CarePlan, Billing and Administrative workflows.

Through the Dedalus partner framework: applications register via the partner ecosystem, obtain credentials/access rights, connect via web services or APIs (often REST/FHIR-style) and embed via extension modules or toolbar integrations within the ORBIS U interface.

Integrations use secure flows such as OAuth2 or token-based authentication, with role-based access controls, encrypted communications (TLS/SSL), audit logging and alignment with hospital and regulatory security standards.

Yes—ORBIS U is cloud-ready (including AWS public cloud deployments), supports device-independent access (desktop, tablet, mobile) and is designed for modern, agile deployment in acute and integrated-care settings.

Best practice includes sandbox/API validation, workflow scenario testing with clinicians, error/edge case simulation, performance/load checks, user-acceptance testing, audit/security review and training before go-live.

By designing reusable integration patterns, modular connectors and standardised configuration profiles, your solution can be deployed across multiple ORBIS U sites with minimal site-by-site customisation and centralised oversight.

6B provides version-management support: we monitor platform changes, update connectors and mappings accordingly, conduct regression testing and coordinate with your team to ensure continuity, compatibility and compliance.

Readiness checklist for Dedalus ORBIS U Integration

  • Define your integration use case(s): e.g., patient data access, mobile clinical documentation, decision-support alerts, device/data-stream integration, analytics export.
  • Confirm your organisation’s governance and compliance posture: lawful basis for data sharing/processing, consent framework, audit-logging and security alignment.
  • Identify the relevant ORBIS U modules or partner extension points your solution will use.
  • Design authentication, authorisation, access-control, audit-logging and data-mapping flows aligned with ORBIS environment and your governance needs.
  • Map data flows, event triggers, user contexts, error-handling logic and reconciliation workflows to ensure integrity and visibility.
  • Prepare sandbox/staging test datasets and scenarios covering standard workflows, high volumes and error/edge cases; plan clinical user acceptance and training.
  • Define your deployment plan, user training, go-live monitoring, version-upgrade and support/maintenance strategy to ensure sustainability and scalability.
