Whether you’re developing a maternity application, clinical decision support tool, patient-facing platform, or reporting solution, 6B helps you integrate reliably with the maternity information systems used across NHS secondary care.
Our end-to-end service covers discovery, technical design, development, assurance, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. We ensure your integration aligns with local Trust workflows, NHS interoperability standards, and the clinical safety requirements associated with maternity care.
Understanding 6B’s Secondary Care MIS Integration Offering
Maternity information systems support the delivery of care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. They hold important clinical information used by midwives, obstetricians, neonatal teams, and wider maternity services, including assessments, observations, care plans, outcomes, and maternity records.
Integrating external applications with these systems can reduce duplicate data entry, improve access to timely information, and support more coordinated care across hospital, community, and patient-facing services. However, integration can be complex due to local configurations, specialist data models, proprietary interfaces, and the safety-critical nature of maternity workflows.
6B helps digital health vendors and NHS organisations integrate with leading maternity platforms such as System C BadgerNet and K2 Athena. Using standards including HL7 v2 and FHIR, alongside vendor-specific APIs and interfaces, we deliver secure, scalable integrations designed for real-world NHS maternity environments.
Our Secondary Care MIS Integration Process
We begin by understanding your product, intended clinical workflows, target maternity systems, and required data exchanges. During discovery, we map information such as patient demographics, pregnancy records, observations, assessments, appointments, care plans, and clinical outcomes.
Our specialists then design and develop the integration using the most appropriate available 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 and securely.
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.

- Document the required patient, pregnancy, appointment, observation, assessment, and outcome 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 approval requirements with Trust IT teams, maternity stakeholders, and system vendors
