    Hephaestus is ASSYST's most recent innovation to come out of our Green Accelerator Program, designed, developed, and implemented for Healthcare Providers, Government Health Agencies, Health IT Companies, and Health Insurance Companies. Hephaestus is an eloquent, lightweight, low-code application platform that provides customers with the component architecture required to implement the FHIR® specification. Hephaestus provides the path for rapid adoption, migration, and implementation of the HL7® FHIR® specification using modern approaches and advanced technology. Hephaestus is an application Platform as a Service (aPaaS) solution built using open technology and optimized in the Cloud architecture. Hephaestus aPaaS is developed and implemented in a distributed cloud architecture and deployed either On-Premise or in a Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure (HCI). Our solution accelerates the adoption and implementation of the HL7® FHIR® standard by automating the metadata exploration, data mapping, parsing, API integration, monitoring and analysis, and secure transmission processes. Hephaestus aPaaS provides customers with the capability to create secure API services for accessing and exchanging healthcare information. In addition, Hephaestus aPaaS provides customers with a zero trust API that protects health information at the communication and data layer. The metadata explorer, mapper, and parsing engine automate the schema generation, data formatting, and validation processes. Our AI/ML driven dataset aggregation feature generates FHIR® compliant datasets and reports consumable by the Enterprise Data Warehouse, Data Lake, or other BI platforms.
     
    As the healthcare industry adopts and implements the FHIR® specification, healthcare technology partners can use our Hephaestus platform to help providers, agencies, and health insurers accomplish the compliance requirements and target milestones. Hephaestus aPaaS was designed and developed utilizing the FHIR® specification and resources, specifically to meet key implementation requirements for CMS Interoperability and Patient Access final rule (CMS-9115-F). ASSYST offers Hephaestus to customers for establishing FHIR® API services and gateways, performing API configuration, and implementation, building USCDI-compliant FHIR® profiles, and exploring, mapping, and parsing FHIR® compliant data.
     
    Hephaestus supports several use cases, including FHIR® Server Sandbox, FHIR® Architecture for Compliance Requirements, FHIR® based APIs and Data Access, Real World Data Sharing, Quality Measurement, Reporting, Health Data Catalog, and Collaborative Data Analytics.
     
    "Widespread adoption of healthcare data interoperability will significantly impact the health and wellness of everyone, and recent events have accelerated the need to improve how we exchange health information. So I'm telling customers that before you treat FHIR® compliance as some maintenance requirement in a legacy system, take a good look at our Hephaestus solution because you'll quickly realize there is an opportunity to modernize your approach and technology", Joe Anderson, Chief Operating Officer, ASSYST.
