Connect

Overview

Avara Connect enables secure data exchange and continuity of care across healthcare organizations.

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

Connect-only customers receive 50 free study sends to get started. If your organization never sends studies, the platform remains completely free — there are no per-user or subscription charges for referrals, documents, messaging, or receiving shared records.

When you do send a study, the $4.50 per study charge covers that study for unlimited shares — send the same study to as many Connect contacts as needed without additional per-recipient fees.

Clinical Platform customers receive unlimited study sharing at no additional cost. Sending and receiving DICOM studies through Connect is included with your platform PACS subscription.
