FHIR R4
FHIR-based resource and API foundation for standards-oriented exchange and application integration.
Interoperability
Connected care needs connected systems.
Umoja is designed around a FHIR R4 interoperability foundation, REST APIs and an integration architecture that can be extended for diagnostics, devices, national systems, insurance and other healthcare services.

Interoperability is not a checkbox for “supports API.” It is the discipline of moving the right clinical and operational information between systems with clear identity, terminology, security, provenance and workflow ownership.
REST APIs
Structured application interfaces for internal services and approved external integrations.
Interface outbox
Architecture for controlled asynchronous communication with downstream systems and national services.
Laboratory
Integration pathways for lab orders, specimen status, results and critical-result workflows.
Radiology / PACS
Potential integration with imaging scheduling, modality workflows, RIS/PACS and diagnostic results.
National systems
Country-specific adapter opportunities for identity, insurance, reporting, payments, facility registries and public-health systems.
Integration lifecycle
Every interface starts with a workflow question.
Before connecting two systems, define what event starts the exchange, who owns the data, which identifier is authoritative, how failures are handled and what the receiving user should see next.
01
Define the business event
Order placed, specimen collected, patient registered, claim submitted, result finalized, referral created, etc.
02
Map data & identifiers
Establish patient, provider, facility, encounter and order identity plus required terminology.
03
Select the interface pattern
FHIR, REST, messaging, file exchange, interface engine or vendor-specific API depending on availability.
04
Secure & monitor
Authentication, authorization, encryption, error handling, retry, observability and audit.
05
Validate the workflow
Confirm end-to-end behavior with the clinical and operational users who depend on the exchange.
Potential integration targets
Adapt the integration map to any country and institution.
The platform architecture anticipates integration work with categories such as the following. Availability depends on external APIs, agreements, implementation scope and local regulation.
National identity
NIDA or equivalent identity services where legally and technically available.
Health insurance
National or private insurance eligibility, authorization and claims systems.
DHIS2 / public health
Aggregate reporting, surveillance or approved ministry reporting workflows.
eLMIS / supply chain
Medication and supply-chain integration where a supported interface exists.
Government payments
Payment and revenue systems where required by local workflow.
Facility registries
National facility registries and organization master data.
HR health systems
Provider/staff directory and workforce integrations where appropriate.
Devices & diagnostics
Lab instruments, imaging systems and selected clinical devices.
We do not claim every listed integration is live today. Umoja provides the application and interface foundation; each connection must be scoped, built, tested and approved for the target environment.Integration transparency principle
Bring the systems you need Umoja to talk to.
We can map the workflow, data, interface pattern, security requirements and implementation effort for each integration.
