Who are Hero Elements for?

Hero Elements are designed with the following use cases in mind:

  1. You are building a health-tech application that would benefit from an integration into EMIS or SystemOne, but the IM1 or GP Connect integration processes look too daunting and intensive for your requirements. The EMIS or TPP functionality may not even be core to your application but more of a 'hygiene' factor required by procurement.

If you fall into this camp, having initially integrated with EMIS directly and then more recently come through the IM1 process, we can confirm it is intensive, both from a development and a compliance perspective. With good tailwinds, you might have a production-ready solution in place ~12 months after your initial engagement with EMIS or TPP, and you'd likely need multiple years to complete both.

  1. You're already building an IM1 or primary care-integrated application and want a quick and light-touch way of adding appointment booking, online booking, patient messaging or quick consult functionality.

Once you are an accredited IM1 provider, whilst it is easier to expand your use cases and use different parts of the APIs, you probably also have an understanding of how hard it is to work on the existing APIs - in particular for appointment scheduling. It is also worth noting that as you delve into patient-facing functionality, additional integrations such as NHS Login become necessary.
