In short

Why US healthcare companies use Polish nearshore instead of US dev shops or India

US healthcare software agencies charge $180-280/h for senior devs with HIPAA experience. India and Philippines cost less but rarely sign HIPAA BAAs on terms US counsel accepts, and 10-12 hour timezone gaps make incident response impossible. Polish nearshore sits in a sweet spot: senior healthcare engineers at $65-85/h, BAA + SCCs + GDPR stack that legal teams accept, and 3-5 hours of live overlap with US East Coast for real-time escalations. We've built FHIR integrations, telemedicine platforms, and clinical trial systems for 7+ healthcare clients since 2019.

Healthcare technology platform
What we build

6 types of healthcare software we specialize in

EHR / EMR integration & extensions

Integrate or extend Epic, Cerner (Oracle Health), athenahealth, eClinicalWorks and Allscripts. FHIR R4 is our default, HL7 v2 for legacy interfaces.

  • Epic App Orchard apps
  • Cerner Ignite APIs
  • athenahealth Marketplace
  • Custom FHIR resource servers

Patient portals & engagement

Branded patient-facing portals for appointments, records access, secure messaging, e-prescribing, and care plan tracking. Native iOS and Android apps when needed.

  • SSO via SMART on FHIR
  • Appointment booking & reminders
  • Secure messaging (HIPAA)
  • Record requests and exports

Telemedicine platforms

End-to-end telemedicine: video consultations, e-prescribing via Surescripts, digital intake forms, payment, insurance verification. Mobile-first.

  • HIPAA-compliant video (Twilio, Zoom Healthcare)
  • Virtual waiting rooms
  • Insurance eligibility checks
  • State-by-state licensing rules

Practice management systems (PMS)

Custom PMS for specialty practices that don't fit into Epic/Cerner workflows. Scheduling, billing, claims, denial management, analytics.

  • ICD-10 / CPT coding support
  • Clearinghouse integration (Availity, Change Healthcare)
  • Denial management workflows
  • Real-time revenue dashboards

Clinical trial & EDC software

Electronic Data Capture (EDC) and clinical trial management systems for sponsors and CROs. Built to 21 CFR Part 11 and ICH-GCP expectations.

  • CDISC / SDTM data export
  • Audit trail & e-signature
  • Adverse event (AE) reporting workflows
  • Integration with REDCap, Medidata

Remote patient monitoring (RPM)

RPM platforms integrating wearables and home medical devices with clinician dashboards. Alert engines for clinical thresholds, CPT 99453/99454/99457 billing workflows.

  • BLE device integration (blood pressure, glucose, pulse ox)
  • Apple HealthKit & Google Health Connect
  • Threshold-based alert engine
  • CPT RPM billing compliance

Compliance & security

Regulatory frameworks we build to

We don't self-certify. We build to the standard and support your QA, security and regulatory teams through their audits. For each project, we agree up front on which frameworks apply and document the corresponding technical and procedural controls.

How we work — healthcare example

What a typical HIPAA-compliant project looks like

A mid-sized US specialty clinic group (12 locations) came to us to replace their legacy PMS with a custom platform integrated with Epic via FHIR. Timeline: 7 months, team of 6, total budget $280k. What that actually looked like in practice:

Month 1 — Discovery & compliance scoping

BAA signed week 1. Security architecture review with client CISO. Data flow diagrams, PHI boundary documented. Synthea-generated test data pipeline stood up. Zero real PHI left client environment.

Month 2-3 — Epic FHIR integration

Epic App Orchard registration, SMART on FHIR authorization flow, Patient / Encounter / Observation / Appointment FHIR resources wired. Staging environment integrated with Epic's sandbox.

Month 4-6 — PMS build

Scheduling, billing, claims, denial workflows. Availity clearinghouse integration for eligibility. Role-based access control aligned to clinical job functions. Audit log table immutable, streamed to client's SIEM.

Month 7 — Production rollout & audit prep

Phased rollout (3 locations → 6 → 12). Penetration test by external firm (client's choice). HIPAA risk assessment document delivered to client's HIPAA officer. Runbook for incident response and breach notification.

Healthcare software in production
In practice

HIPAA software that survives a real security review

BAA signed, audit logs immutable, encryption at rest and in transit, MFA-gated VPN, MDM-managed laptops, synthetic PHI in dev. Real PHI never leaves the client's production environment.

FHIR R4 integrations with Epic App Orchard, Cerner Ignite, athenahealth Marketplace. HL7 v2 interfaces for hospital information systems. We do not self-certify, we build to the standard and support your auditor.

FAQ

Healthcare nearshore FAQ

Yes. While Poland is not within the US HIPAA jurisdiction, Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with foreign subprocessors are permitted under HIPAA if Standard Contractual Clauses and contractual safeguards equivalent to US requirements are in place. We sign BAAs, maintain HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards, and can provide audit logs, encryption-at-rest, access control records, and incident response procedures per HHS guidance.

Typical projects: custom EHR/EMR systems for specialty clinics, patient portals integrated with Epic/Cerner/athenahealth via FHIR, telemedicine platforms (video, messaging, e-prescribing), practice management systems (PMS), clinical trial data collection (EDC), medical device software (SaMD), healthcare analytics dashboards, remote patient monitoring (RPM) platforms.

Yes. We have delivered FHIR R4 integrations with Epic App Orchard, Cerner Ignite APIs, athenahealth Marketplace, and custom HL7 v2 interfaces for hospital information systems. Common use cases: patient demographics sync, appointment scheduling, clinical observations (vitals), lab results (ORU^R01), and medication orders (RDE^O11).

Depending on scope: HIPAA (US patient data), GDPR (EU patient data), HITRUST CSF (we build to HITRUST controls if client is HITRUST-certified), SOC 2 Type II (infrastructure compliance), FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records, ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 for Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). We do not self-certify, we build to the standard and support your auditor.

Strict separation. Real PHI never leaves the client's production environment. Development happens against synthetic data (Synthea, Faker-based generators) or HIPAA-compliant sandboxes. If real PHI is unavoidable for debugging, we use time-limited VPN access with encrypted screen recording and revoke on ticket close. All developer laptops are encrypted (LUKS/FileVault), MDM-managed, and access is MFA-gated.

Patient portal with FHIR integration: $45-120k (3-5 months). Custom EHR for specialty clinic: $120-400k (6-12 months). Telemedicine MVP: $60-150k (4-6 months). Clinical trial EDC: $80-250k (5-9 months). Rates: senior healthcare dev with HIPAA experience $65-85/h, architect $85-115/h. 40-60% cheaper than US healthcare software agencies at comparable seniority.
