BERLIN - In the architectural struggle of modern healthcare IT, a new strategy is emerging. Rather than attempting the costly and often futile task of ripping out "Headful Monoliths"—the massive, legacy Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems that dominate European hospitals—forward-thinking institutions are adopting a "Sidecar" strategy. aiomics, the Berlin-based healthtech firm, is leading this shift by providing a parallel, mobile-first infrastructure that functions alongside legacy systems without being shackled to them.
The friction in today’s hospitals is palpable. While the rest of the professional world has gone mobile, healthcare workers remain tethered to fixed workstations. Legacy EHRs, designed decades ago as desktop-installed applications, insist on a stationary workflow. They force clinicians to leave the patient’s bedside and return to a nursing station simply to view a lab result or enter a note. This physical disconnect creates informational friction, delaying decisions and fragmenting the care team.
The "Sidecar" Advantage
aiomics addresses this by positioning itself not as a layer on top of the legacy system, but as a high-performance sidecar that runs in parallel. Built from the ground up on modern standards like HL7/FHIR and the OpenEHR structure, it offers a responsive, multi-device interface that frees data from the desktop. Clinicians can now access and visualize critical patient information—including external laboratory feeds and digitized faxes—directly on tablets or smartphones while standing with the patient. This capability allows the care team to visualize complex data trends at the point of care, rather than relying on memory or handwritten notes until they can reach a computer.
Pragmatic Interoperability
While the industry strives for seamless integration, aiomics recognizes a blunt reality: "It takes two to Walz." Legacy vendors often lack the incentive or the technical capability to open their systems to modern APIs. In response, aiomics offers a dual approach to connectivity. It can integrate directly where possible, but uniquely, it functions autonomously in parallel, requiring no permission from the incumbent vendor to deliver value.
To bridge the gap where deep integration is blocked, aiomics has engineered pragmatic workarounds that serve as a "killer feature" for German hospitals: seamless copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop functionality. This allows data to move fluidly between the rigid legacy record and the agile aiomics interface, ensuring that the clinician’s workflow is never held hostage by software limitations.
Marginalizing the Monolith
This architecture allows hospitals to gradually marginalize their rigid monoliths without the risk of a "rip and replace" operation. By making aiomics the primary, user-centric source of information for interdisciplinary teams, hospitals can maintain their legacy databases for compliance while moving their actual clinical operations to a modern, flexible environment. The result is a care ecosystem where technology finally supports the mobility of the doctor, rather than anchoring them to a desk.
