Our Story

Built by Engineers, for Healthcare

Founded by software engineers with a mission to connect healthcare systems.

Saga IT is a US-based healthcare IT consulting firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our team of healthcare technology consultants works remotely across the United States, delivering EHR integration, interoperability solutions, and HIPAA-compliant healthcare software development.

Unlike generic dev shops, our engineers bring deep domain expertise in clinical systems — from HL7 v2 interfaces to FHIR R4 APIs, Epic and Oracle Health integrations, and FDA SaMD development. As a healthcare technology company built by engineers, we combine technical precision with healthcare fluency that comes from years inside the industry.

From AI startups building clinical decision support tools to Fortune 500 medical device manufacturers, hospitals, and health plans — we specialize in healthcare software that connects clinical systems and improves patient care.

Case Studies

Healthcare IT Consulting in Action

How we build, integrate, and deploy clinical software that transforms patient care.

Point-of-Care Device to EHR Integration

A healthcare system deployed a new point-of-care diagnostic device that generates multiple vital signs and lab values. Raw data points from the device are transformed into standardized FHIR Observation resources and stored directly in the EHR system, enabling real-time clinical decision support without manual data entry.

AI-Powered Clinical Diagnostics

A health system implemented machine learning algorithms that analyze patient data to identify at-risk conditions. The ML model consumes Patient resources from the EHR along with lab results and clinical observations, processes multiple data points through the algorithm, and outputs condition predictions that support clinical decision-making.

SMART on FHIR Clinical Decision Support in Epic

A healthcare organization deployed a custom SMART on FHIR application embedded within their Epic EHR. The app pulls imaging results and clinical notes from Epic's FHIR API, runs diagnostic analysis to surface relevant findings, and renders actionable insights directly within the clinician's Epic workflow.

Who We Work With

Organizations We Serve

From AI startups building clinical decision support to Fortune 500 medical device manufacturers and hospital systems.

Clinical AI Infrastructure

Building the Data Pipeline for Clinical AI

We help AI and ML startups extract clinical data from EHR systems, build FHIR-native data pipelines, and navigate the FDA's regulatory pathway for Software as a Medical Device. From proof-of-concept to production deployment inside clinical workflows.

  • FHIR data extraction and normalization pipelines
  • FDA SaMD regulatory pathway and 510(k) support
  • ML model integration with EHR workflows (CDS Hooks)
  • HIPAA-compliant training data infrastructure

Device Connectivity

Connecting Devices to Clinical Workflows

We integrate medical devices with EHR systems — from bedside monitors to surgical robots. Our engineers build the interfaces that transform raw device telemetry into structured clinical data, with full IHE PCD profile compliance and FDA UDI tracking.

  • Device-to-EHR connectivity via HL7 and FHIR
  • IoMT platform architecture and security
  • IHE PCD profiles and clinical alarm management
  • FDA UDI compliance and device registration

Clinical Systems Integration

Optimizing Clinical System Integration

We help hospitals and health systems connect their clinical infrastructure — EHR optimization, Mirth Connect channel development, cloud migration, and interface governance. Whether you're running Epic, Oracle Health, or MEDITECH, we build the integration layer that keeps clinical data flowing.

  • EHR optimization across Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH
  • Mirth Connect channel development and managed services
  • HIPAA-compliant cloud migration (AWS, Azure)
  • Interface governance and monitoring

Payer Integration

Streamlining Claims and Member Data Exchange

We build the data exchange infrastructure that health plans need — from X12 EDI transaction processing to CMS-0057-F Patient Access API compliance. Our engineers bridge the gap between legacy payer systems and modern FHIR-based interoperability requirements.

  • X12 EDI transaction processing (835, 837, 270/271)
  • CMS-0057-F Patient Access and Provider Directory APIs
  • Prior Authorization API (FHIR Da Vinci)
  • Member data exchange and attribution pipelines

Data Exchange Infrastructure

Powering Regional and National Data Exchange

We help health information exchanges build and scale their data exchange infrastructure — from HL7-to-FHIR message transformation to TEFCA QHIN connectivity and provider onboarding automation. Our team has built the integration pipelines that move millions of clinical documents across organizational boundaries.

  • HL7 v2 to FHIR message transformation at scale
  • TEFCA QHIN connectivity and Common Agreement compliance
  • Provider onboarding and interface testing automation
  • C-CDA and clinical document exchange (IHE XDS/XCA)
