Healthcare interoperability, engineered.
Healthcare depends on systems built across decades of technology. We design the infrastructure that connects them — and build the open-source message-processing platform it runs on.

Healthcare connectivity has become infrastructure.
Healthcare organizations operate hundreds of applications, interfaces, standards, and data flows. Most were never designed to work together.
So connectivity gets built one interface at a time: point-to-point integrations, duplicated transformation logic, inconsistent data models, and limited visibility into what is actually moving.
The challenge is not simply moving data from one place to another. It is transforming data so that its meaning is preserved, its quality is improved, and its value can be used across the organization.
We design the architecture that connects them.
eleven88 builds interoperability and data infrastructure across legacy healthcare systems, standards, APIs, and modern cloud platforms — as a platform the organization can build on, not as another interface.

Products
Four components, one message-processing pipeline. Produce realistic test messages, receive production feeds, project them into a canonical model, and watch every step. The pipeline is open source; ClaimForge is the commercial product.
-
Produceeleven88 / claimforge
ClaimForge Commercial
Synthetic healthcare messages for engineering, QA, demo environments, and training pipelines — realistic enough to break things in the right places, without touching PHI.
- HL7 v2, X12 claims, and FHIR bundles from one schema-aware generator
- Seeded, reproducible fixtures for CI; volume generation for load tests
- Realistic mess by design: Z-segments, truncation, duplicate MRNs, out-of-order timestamps
-
Receiveeleven88 / ingestion
Ingestion Open source
Reliable intake from trading partners and feeds, with a durable identity and provenance record for every message that crosses the boundary.
- MLLP, SFTP batch, REST and FHIR subscriptions, vendor APIs
- HL7 ACK/NACK, HTTP, and file-level acknowledgement semantics
- At-least-once delivery with idempotent processing; quarantine, dead-letter, and replay — nothing is dropped silently
-
Interpreteleven88 / projector
Projector Open source
Projects raw messages into the eleven88 canonical model — patients, encounters, orders, observations, claims — with terminology mapped and lineage preserved.
- Versioned, deterministic mappings; reprocess history when a rule changes
- Field-level lineage from every canonical value back to its source segment
- ICD-10, CPT, LOINC, SNOMED CT, RxNorm, and NDC crosswalks; unmapped values quarantined, never guessed
-
Observeeleven88 / dashboard
Dashboard Open source
Operational monitoring that lets people trust the pipeline: queue depth, latency, error spikes, and the journey of any single message.
- Drill from a partner-level view to one message in a few clicks
- Data-quality signals alongside throughput, for informatics as well as ops
- Alerting on stalled feeds and error rates, tuned to avoid alert fatigue
- Built as an estate, not a bridge. Versioned message contracts, long-term support releases, and deprecation windows measured in years — hospital IT does not upgrade quarterly.
- Auditable by construction. Every transformation is deterministic and traceable to its source. A mis-mapped code is a patient-safety and revenue-integrity issue, so it has to be findable.
- Open where it builds trust. Ingestion, Projector mappings, and the Dashboard are open source under a permissive license. Contributed mappings go through review before they are marked production-grade.

Where integration fails
Four conditions account for most integration failure in healthcare data estates. Each is stated the way it would appear in an assessment, with the remediation that follows from it.
-
F-01
Local codes carry meaning the receiving system cannot read.
Result values arrive as site-specific mnemonics. Units are inconsistent or absent. The same concept is represented three ways across three source systems, and the downstream warehouse treats them as three different things.
RemediationSource analysis and schema discovery, semantic mapping to standard terminologies, unit and value normalization, and validation with the provenance to show what was changed and why.
-
F-02
Transport succeeds. Semantics do not.
An interface is declared healthy because messages are being acknowledged. Conformance to the profile is never tested, cardinality violations pass silently, and the failure surfaces months later in a report nobody trusts.
RemediationInteroperability architecture that treats semantic conformance, validation, privacy, and observability as first-class concerns rather than a layer above transport.
-
F-03
The design has no owner between approval and production.
An architecture is agreed, then handed across a gap — to a vendor, to an internal team already at capacity, to whoever is free. The decisions that made the design correct are not written down anywhere the implementers will read.
RemediationFull-lifecycle implementation, from discovery through design, development, conformance testing, deployment, and production readiness. The person who drew it builds it.
-
F-04
Go-live is treated as the finish line.
Monitoring covers uptime but not data quality. Exceptions accumulate in a queue with no owner. Nobody can answer how many records failed last week, or which ones, or why.
RemediationOperational visibility built in: monitoring and alerting, exception workflow, data-quality reporting, and post-go-live stabilization and optimization.
Standards in scope
Standards are not a checklist. Named precisely, they are the difference between a system that exchanges information and one that merely transmits it.
-
HL7 FHIR
API strategy, resource modeling and profiling, conformance validation, and payer / provider exchange.
-
HL7 v2
Interface analysis, parsing, transformation, validation, and modernization of feeds that have been running for longer than anyone remembers.
-
C-CDA / CCD
Clinical document ingestion, normalization, extraction, and exchange — including the documents that are technically valid and semantically useless.
-
X12 & payer data
Transaction integration, workflow alignment, payer-provider exchange, and legacy-to-modern transformation with data integrity preserved.
-
Terminology
Mapping and normalization across the code systems that decide whether two records are talking about the same thing.
How the work runs
A sequence, in order. Each stage produces something the next one needs. Build interoperability as a platform, not another interface.
-
Stage 1
Discover
Stakeholders, systems, data, constraints, risks, and the outcome that actually matters. Most integration failures are visible here and ignored.
-
Stage 2
Design
Target architecture, information models, standards selection, controls, and a roadmap grounded in the estate and the delivery capacity that exists.
-
Stage 3
Deliver
Build, validate, document, deploy. Conformance tested rather than assumed, and documented so the next person can maintain it.
-
Stage 4
Operate
Monitor performance and data quality, resolve exceptions, and improve reliability over time. Going live is not the finish line.
We build the infrastructure between healthcare systems.
Healthcare technology has evolved over decades. Mainframes coexist with cloud platforms. HL7 interfaces coexist with FHIR APIs. Batch files coexist with event streams. None of this is going away overnight.
The challenge is creating an architecture where these systems can operate together reliably. That is where eleven88 works.
eleven88 is a focused engineering practice, not an agency. The person who assesses your estate is the person who designs the solution and the person who builds it.
