Integration Models

Many ways to bring H2H into your workflow

Whether you're an independent prescriber or an EHR platform serving thousands, H2H fits the way you already work — from a direct login to a fully agentic integration.

Compare at a glance

Four core models, one certified platform

Every model runs on the same Surescripts-certified backend with full EPCS support — they differ mainly in who owns the interface and how much you build.

Model Integration effort Who owns the UX Who authenticates EPCS & controlled substances Typical time to live
Stand-Alone None H2H H2H login Full EPCS support Same day
Embedded (EMR/EHR/MAR) Low H2H, in context Your system (SSO) Full EPCS support Days
Web API (SOAP & REST) Medium–High You Your system Full EPCS support Weeks
Agent-to-Agent (MCP) Low–Medium Your agent Your system Full EPCS support Days–weeks

SA

Stand-Alone Access

Best for: Independent practices without an existing EMR

For prescribers who aren’t associated with an EMR, EHR, or MAR system. Log in directly to H2H DigitalRx at the point of care with a unique user ID and password, and send prescriptions straight to the pharmacy.

EMR

Embedded EMR / EHR / MAR Access

Best for: Practices and platforms with an established EMR/EHR

H2H DigitalRx opens from a “prescribe” link or button inside your existing EMR, EHR, or MAR system. Logging into that system uniquely identifies the user and care location — authentication happens behind the scenes, with no separate H2H login.

API

Web API (SOAP & REST)

Best for: EHR/EMR vendors and health-tech platforms building their own UI

Connect to H2H DigitalRx services through our web API — available in both SOAP and REST, with webhooks for asynchronous events like ePA status changes. Often the fastest way to bring e-prescribing into your own application without a separate login screen.

MCP

Agent-to-Agent (MCP Server)

Best for: Platforms building agentic AI experiences that need e-prescribing as a callable capability

H2H DigitalRx exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so the AI agents already running inside your EHR, EMR, or health-tech platform can invoke e-prescribing as a set of tools — write a new Rx, run RTPB and formulary checks, initiate ePA, query the PDMP, or sign an EPCS order — through native tool calls. Your agent orchestrates the clinical conversation; H2H handles the regulated prescribing actions and returns structured results, keeping the human prescriber in the loop for final confirmation.

Fine-tune the Embedded and API models

These aren’t separate models — they’re variations on Embedded access and the Web API, ordered from the lightest to the heaviest integration lift.

Low effort

Iframe — full application

A lighter form of Embedded access

The entire H2H DigitalRx application loads in an iframe inside your product, themed to match. Minimal engineering on your side.

High effort

End-to-end API ownership

Full ownership on the Web API

Build your own UX entirely on top of H2H’s SOAP & REST APIs and webhooks — total control of the experience, at the cost of more development effort.

AI capabilities like Transcribe to Prescribe and PrescribeAgent aren’t separate integrations — they’re available across every model above, through the API and the MCP server.

Find your fit

Which model fits you?

No existing EMR — you prescribe at the point of care
Stand-Alone Access
You already run an EMR/EHR/MAR and want prescribing in context
Embedded Access
You’re building your own prescribing interface
Web API (SOAP & REST)
You’re building an agentic AI flow that needs to prescribe
Agent-to-Agent (MCP)
