TTA has an open invitation to industry leaders to contribute to our Perspectives non-promotional opinion and thought leadership area. Today’s article is by Scott Sirdevan, co-founder and CEO at Vorro. In this article, Mr. Sirdevan explains the concept of EiPaaS and how it can integrate the digital programs and tools used by healthcare providers, securely, to enable customers to bring together data from any system to the point of decision. He holds a master’s degree in computer information systems from Kansas State University and was the lead inventor on Vorro’s three BridgeGate patents.

Despite the increasing risk of using digital tools in healthcare due to faulty systems and cyberattacks, the booming health tech sector is becoming more vital for healthcare systems than ever before, delivering efficient, proactive, and more accurate solutions to providers.
Today, one of the most popular health tech solutions is Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service (EiPaaS), with its market expected to reach $10.26 billion by 2027. Essentially a data integration solution, EiPaaS streamlines healthcare provider processes by creating a centralized space in the cloud for all programs and tools to work in unison.
EiPaaS has become increasingly critical as healthcare systems seek increased collaboration between insurance companies, suppliers, and patients and deal with more software programs than ever. This integration connects all operations, making tasks automated, timelier, and safer.
Let’s examine three reasons modern healthcare providers should embrace EiPaaS:
1. Seamless Data Integration
Delivering seamless data integration in healthcare is crucial for patient care. Fragmented care, often due to delayed communications between suppliers, providers, and insurance companies or human error, creates adverse effects on patients with chronic illnesses.
EiPaaS in healthcare operations ensures efficient communication and minimizes human errors, from typos to delayed manual processes. Providers can seamlessly share information with suppliers quickly, ensuring low-latency system responses.
Access to up-to-date patient data, such as allergies, prescriptions, and other patient information, helps physicians make informed decisions.
2. Enhanced Scalability & Security
Cybercrime rates have skyrocketed since 2020, with 2023 witnessing the most attacks on record. Cybersecurity is paramount in healthcare, and EiPaaS solutions address these concerns by providing robust security measures. The “enterprise” in EiPaaS signifies a higher grade of fault tolerance, scalability, and cybersecurity, meeting standards like HIPAA and other government-mandated compliance requirements.
Often, healthcare providers hire vendors without vetting their cybersecurity stance, which puts their services and patients’ information at risk. In 2023, there were 725 large data breaches in the healthcare sector, exposing over 133 million records. Hacking incidents accounted for 79.72% of these breaches (The HIPAA Journal) (HHS.gov) (The HIPAA Journal). EiPaaS solutions feature up-to-date compliance, secure data sharing, and encryption, ensuring that digital services are safe and trusted.
Scalability is another significant advantage of EiPaaS. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to grow and shrink based on customer demand. This flexibility allows healthcare providers to handle large data loads efficiently. For instance, several of our customers have needed to load a large amount of data in a short time, and EiPaaS can scale up to support these large one-time bulk loads and conversions. This scalability ensures that healthcare providers can dynamically manage their data needs without compromising performance or security.
3. Optional Fully Managed Services
A significant advantage of EiPaaS is its optional fully managed services. These services are beneficial for healthcare organizations in many ways. Healthcare organizations can focus on their core business, utilizing the EiPaaS provider to handle all Integration responsibilities and support. Managed services are more cost-effective and in sync with the specific systems healthcare organizations use daily.
As health tech solutions become more critical and scrutinized by regulators, data integration services like EiPaaS are taking center stage. EiPaaS’s robust cybersecurity practices, full audited chain of custody of data, and fault-tolerance scalability integration are what modern healthcare systems need today, leveraging technological advances to elevate service quality, resulting in excellent patient care.
