Health Gorilla in Action

Health Gorilla is a nationwide Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) and interoperability platform that unifies clinical data from hundreds of networks and systems into a single, standards-based exchange. Our mission is to make trusted health data universally accessible through a unified FHIR-based architecture that supports national-scale interoperability.

At its core, Health Gorilla operates a high-availability FHIR server that powers patient matching, data normalization, and secure delivery—supporting real-time, bidirectional exchange so your organization can retrieve and contribute patient records without managing separate network connections or trust agreements.

Challenges We Help You Solve

Health Gorilla addresses key interoperability challenges so your organization can focus on delivering care.

  • Access a complete patient record: Our Record Retrieval solutions—Patient360, Patient Chart Viewer, and Individual Access Service (IAS)—bring together a patient’s longitudinal data from national networks and labs in real time.
  • Stay updated as new information arrives: Our Subscription Services—Clinical Alerts and ADT Notifications—send encounter updates and event messages the moment they occur, through FHIR Subscriptions or HL7 v2/SFTP.
  • Streamline ordering and results delivery: Our Orders and Results solution, Lab Network, provides a single interface for diagnostic test ordering and delivers normalized results directly into the shared FHIR core.
  • Manage a multi-facility enterprise: Built-in multi-tenant configuration, role-based access, and centralized monitoring help large organizations control identities, permissions, and data flows across all locations.

These capabilities reflect Health Gorilla’s mission to simplify interoperability and make trusted health data available at scale across the nation.

Protecting Every Exchange

All transactions are protected with end-to-end encryption, tenant isolation, and full audit logging. Health Gorilla is HIPAA, TEFCA, HITRUST, SOC 2 Type 2, and NIST CSF certified, and its cloud-native architecture provides geographic redundancy and enterprise-scale performance. A dedicated sandbox, developer portal, and onboarding support simplify implementation and integration.

Delivering Complete Clinical Data

Health Gorilla retrieves and delivers multiple types of clinical data, normalizing records and tagging them with provenance for filtering, audit, and reuse.

  • Medical: Encounter summaries, care plans, clinical notes, and procedures from connected EHR systems and networks such as Carequality, CommonWell, eHealth Exchange, and TEFCA-qualified exchanges
  • Laboratory: Diagnostic orders and results from national and regional laboratories
  • Medications and Immunizations: Prescriptions and administrations documented in EHR or network records
  • Admissions, Discharges, and Transfers (ADT): Real-time hospital event notifications through HL7 v2 or FHIR Subscription
  • Point-of-Care Contributions: Structured FHIR resources or uploaded documents submitted directly by clients or providers

Built for Seamless Integration

Your organization can integrate with Health Gorilla in several ways:

  • FHIR API: Build direct integrations for programmatic retrieval, shareback, and analytics
  • Embedded Viewer: Launch the Patient Chart Viewer inside an EHR or portal using SMART on FHIR or an iFrame to display external records alongside local data
  • User Interface: Access aggregated patient records through a secure web-based UI that requires no development work
  • Ordering Portals: Place lab orders and view results without managing multiple lab interfaces

By combining nationwide network connectivity, advanced patient-matching, and a central FHIR core, Health Gorilla enables developers and healthcare enterprises to deliver complete, real-time clinical information wherever it is needed—supporting care coordination, population health programs, and consumer-directed data access.
