How to Write Remote Patient Monitoring Readings to the EHR with
Blog post from Unified.to
Unified.to’s Healthcare API enables remote patient monitoring and digital health products to write vital-sign readings such as weight, blood pressure, glucose, heart rate, and oxygen saturation into supported EHR patient charts as standardized observation records, while also reading observations and laboratory data from more than 20 EHR systems through a single connection. Developers authorize an EHR connection, map device readings to LOINC codes, submit observations with required patient, status, category, value, unit, and measurement-time fields, and retrieve charted vitals to display trends alongside in-clinic readings; blood-pressure panels are returned with separate systolic and diastolic components. Support varies by EHR, with many integrations allowing observation reads but not writes, so developers should consult the capability matrix, test accepted categories and codes with each customer, and use alternative documentation channels when writes are unavailable. A 501 response indicates that an EHR does not support observation creation through its API but can still support reading data, while some platforms provide virtual webhooks and update filters for receiving new or changed observations. Observation records are create-only through the unified interface, meaning corrections must be made in the EHR or by adding a new reading, and the API supports chart documentation rather than RPM billing, time tracking, or claims processing.
