CSV Export Is a Feature, Not a Limitation
Every EHR vendor wants to sell you their analytics module. It requires their proprietary APIs, creates lock-in, and means that when you switch EHRs — and most organizations do eventually — your analytics infrastructure has to be rebuilt from scratch.
Vizier works with CSV exports because that architecture keeps you in control. Every major EHR can generate standardized data exports. Your IT team doesn't need to build or maintain API connections. When Epic releases a new version or Cerner gets rebranded again, your analytics pipeline keeps running because it isn't tied to any single integration point.
The alternative — direct API integration — takes 12–18 months to configure, requires ongoing maintenance as APIs change, and often costs more in IT time than the analytics tool itself. That's the EHR vendor's business model, not yours.
We've Mapped Exports From Every Major EHR
Each EHR has its own export format, column naming conventions, and quirks. We've done the mapping work before — so your onboarding doesn't involve reinventing the wheel for a common export format.
The Clinical and Billing Data That Drives Your Analytics
Your analytics program is only as good as the data going in. We configure exports for the clinical and billing data types that Vizier uses to calculate quality measures, track chronic disease panels, and identify revenue cycle problems — not a generic data dump that requires months of cleanup before it's useful.
We also configure data validation rules that catch problems before they affect your analytics. When a monthly export comes in with missing encounter dates or blank CPT codes, the system flags it rather than silently calculating wrong numbers.
A Managed Data Pipeline Your Team Doesn't Have to Think About
The managed service means your team doesn't need a data engineer. The Algorithm configures the export schedule, maintains the column mapping as your EHR updates, and monitors for data quality issues. Your team's job is to upload the monthly export file — we handle everything else.
When your EHR gets updated or you change a report template, we update the mapping. When a new data field becomes available that would improve your quality measure tracking, we add it. The pipeline is maintained, not just configured once and forgotten.
From EHR Audit to Automated Monthly Refresh
What to Expect and When
Four weeks from initial engagement to first successful automated data refresh. The limiting factor is usually your IT team's availability to configure the export schedule — we've compressed our side of the process so you're not waiting on us.
