Overview
Avara Connect enables secure data exchange and continuity of care across healthcare organizations.
What is Avara Connect?
Section titled “What is Avara Connect?”Avara Connect is a secure interoperability layer that helps healthcare organizations share patient data, coordinate care transitions, and maintain continuity across systems and sites.
Connect is available as a standalone product, or it is included in the Avara Clinical Platform and directly integrated into your clinical workflow — referrals, imaging, messaging, and scheduling work together without switching systems.
Connect supports:
- Connect Contacts — Bidirectional trusted connections with partner organizations
- Referrals — Send and receive patient referrals between approved Connect contacts
- Study Sharing — Share DICOM imaging, documents, and appointments with an integrated viewer
- Messaging — Secure DMs, internal channels, and Connect contact channels
- Continuity of Care — Share records and context when patients move between providers or facilities
- Secure Exchange — HIPAA-aligned data sharing with configurable access controls
