ACOG Registry EHR Integration
We support connecting to over 130 different EHRs using either a push or pull method for extracting your clinical data.
- Pull Method A small Windows service is installed within your facility network and automatically extracts and transmits your clinical data to the Registry.
- Push Method Your staff extracts your clinical data into a standard format and then securely transmits it to the Registry via SFTP.
