Interoperability and Country Exchange
Afiax uses interoperability as a delivery capability for health systems, partners, payers, and national programs. The goal is not only to move data, but to keep exchange auditable, reusable, and isolated behind stable platform contracts.
Core exchange patterns
Afiax is designed to support:
- HL7 connectivity for legacy clinical systems
- FHIR and REST APIs for modern health platforms and payer services
- SFTP and batch exchange for programmatic or government workflows
- document and attachment exchange for referrals, claims, and record sharing
- event-driven integration through Bots, subscriptions, and custom operations
Afiax Agent
The Afiax Agent provides a secure bridge for local-network protocols such as HL7 and DICOM. It is useful where diagnostics systems, facility networks, or partner infrastructure cannot connect directly to the cloud.
Country-pack exchange model
Afiax keeps exchange responsibilities split across layers:
- core platform: canonical FHIR model, internal operations, audit, provenance, access control
- country packs: national registries, eligibility, exchange endpoints, claims connectors, local terminology
- tenant overlays: organization-specific endpoints, secrets, rollout flags, and workflow decisions
This structure is what allows Kenya to be the first implementation without becoming the definition of the whole platform.
Example solution scenarios
- patient, facility, and practitioner verification against authority registries
- eligibility and coverage checks with public or private payers
- shared health record or national exchange publishing
- partner and referral network integrations
- diagnostics, labs, and imaging feed ingestion
- reporting and operational feeds into analytics or partner systems
