iPaaS Solutions for Healthcare Enterprise Integration: Cloud-Native Integration Platforms for Multi-System Orchestration

Abstract

The growing complexity of healthcare information systems—ranging from electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory information systems (LIS), and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), to telehealth platforms and remote monitoring devices—has exposed the limitations of legacy integration architectures. Traditional middleware and enterprise service bus (ESB) solutions, while functional, are no longer sufficient to meet the dynamic needs of modern healthcare enterprises that require agility, real-time data processing, compliance, and scalable interoperability. This paper explores the role of Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as a transformative, cloud-native solution for enabling seamless multi-system orchestration in healthcare environments. iPaaS offers an API-first, containerized, and event-driven architecture that aligns with the industry's shift toward modular, resilient, and scalable integration workflows.
