EasyOne Connect

ndd can integrate with any EHR vendor that can support a bi-directional HL7 orders/results lab interface. 

ndd offers a file-based integration utilizing an SFTP or network-based location for file communication with an EHR vendor. HL7 is the standard data structure that ndd utilizes but can support other data formats as well. The use of other interface engines can be utilized to complete an integration project.

The first step for an integration project is to complete the EMR integration request form here: https://nddmed.com/emr. An integration specialist will then reach out to you with the next steps.

Duration depends on the IT team of the facility. The ndd side of the integration process can be completed within a few hours for standard integrations. EasyOne Connect software is simply configured to point to the SFTP or network-based location where files are being placed.

EasyOne Connect software utilizes AES 256 encryption. SFTP has its own security protocols built into it. If a network-based location is utilized, it will follow the protocols of the facility.

Yes, EasyOne Connect offers an optional centralized patient database feature, enabling seamless access to patient orders and results across all instances of the software, irrespective of physical location. Customers can leverage their on-premise SQL servers or MS Azure environments to ensure data accessibility and consistency. 

EasyOne Connect provides flexible options for managing users and their access. User accounts can be created and managed directly within EasyOne Connect for simple permission control. For more advanced management, the software supports integration with Active Directory for using your existing directory service accounts, groups, and permissions. EasyOne Connect also supports optional single sign-on (SSO) capability through integration with major identity providers. Please see application note for additional information. 

ndd has integrated with all major vendors and can provide examples of successful integrations with various healthcare providers and organizations. You can contact our integration department via email at [email protected] for more information.

ndd does not handle the maintenance and upgrades as the software is installed locally on the client’s machine. We do, however, offer a silent installer package that our support team can assist you with. This silent installer can be executed via a script through active directory commands depending on your facility. It is the responsibility of the facility to implement any future updates. There is no licensing fee associated with the software and/or the updates.

ndd does not charge for standard integration. In the event custom development is needed, ndd will provide a statement of work before a project begins. Almost all EHR vendors will charge a fee that the client is responsible for.

HL7 specifications can be found here.

1. Local SQLite file-based database.
2. On-premise Microsoft SQL Server database.
3. Azure cloud-hosted Microsoft SQL Server database.

Please see the application note for additional information.

The facility is responsible for setting up and hosting either option. ndd requires a username and password if using an SFTP environment.  

The result HL7 message will consist of a combination of discrete results and an embedded base64 PDF attachment for the PFT report. If you prefer, we also offer the option of including a reference link instead of the embedded PDF.

No, a server is not required.

You can schedule a meeting with an integration engineer from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. ndd can accommodate meetings outside of that timeframe if planned accordingly. The integration team can be reached via email at [email protected]. The support team can also be reached via email at [email protected] or by phone at (978) 470-0923.

All current generation ndd devices, EasyOne Air, Easy on-PC and EasyOne Pro/LAB V5, are equally capable of integrating with your EMR.
