elapsed: 11m 24sEpic integration isn't a software problem. It's a compliance problem.
Code generation is solved. Cursor, Claude, Lovable can scaffold a SMART on FHIR app today. What they can't do: sign a BAA, pass Epic's vendor security review, get listed on Showroom, run inside a HIPAA-compliant runtime, or maintain the integration when Epic ships breaking changes.
That's 70% of the cost of shipping into Epic. SoFaaS™ handles all of it.
Compliant runtime
SOC 2 Type II, BAA on day one, HIPAA-ready hosting.
Distribution
Epic Showroom listing in ~2 weeks.
Maintenance
Your integration stays live when Epic changes.
The first hospital is hard. The tenth is harder.
Closing your first hospital deal is the visible problem. The hidden one starts the day after you close.
Every new hospital is another compliance project — usually 3 to 6 months of:
- •A new security questionnaire (often 200+ questions, often unique to that health system)
- •A new BAA to negotiate (every legal team wants their own template)
- •A new IT validation cycle, on their schedule
- •A new go-live coordination — their staff, their training, their timeline
- •A new round of evidence: SOC 2 report, pen test results, sub-processor list, incident response policy
Most vendors hit a wall around their fifth or sixth hospital. Compliance ops becomes a full-time team. Per-hospital implementation costs go up, not down.
SoFaaS™ centralizes the compliance posture. One audited runtime. One BAA template. One security profile, validated at the platform level. Hospitals review SoFaaS™ once at the organization level — every app on the platform inherits that trust. Your tenth hospital deploys at the same speed as your first.
This is the part nobody talks about in the build-vs-buy conversation. It's also the part that determines whether your healthcare business actually scales.
From zero to deployed in three steps.
Working in Epic
You sign up. We provision your SoFaaS™ workspace. Your app is connecting to Epic and reading FHIR resources before lunch.
Listed on Epic Showroom
We handle the submission packet, security review, and Epic's vendor process. Your app appears on Epic Showroom. Hospitals can find you.
Live at the hospital
Your hospital prospect downloads your app. Within a week, your integration is running in their Epic instance. The deal closes.
Why a week, not six months?
Because the hospital isn't reviewing a custom integration from scratch. They're deploying a Showroom-listed app on a runtime they (or peers in their network) have already evaluated. The compliance, the security posture, the FHIR mappings, the OAuth setup — pre-validated. Their work shrinks to "deploy and verify" instead of "evaluate, negotiate, validate, integrate, test, go-live."
We use it ourselves before we sell it to you.
SoFaaS™ is the runtime VectorCare built for our own Epic integration. Every hospital deployment we ship — and we ship into major academic medical centers and community health systems — runs on the same platform we're now opening to other healthcare vendors.
If SoFaaS™ holds up our production traffic, it'll hold up yours.
How VectorCare uses SoFaaS™Built for vendors who need to ship into Epic.
AI ambient & clinical documentation
Scribes and ambient assistants that launch in Epic, capture the visit, write notes back via DocumentReference. The hottest category in healthcare integration today; SoFaaS™ gets you compliant and deployed faster than your competitors.
Remote patient monitoring
Clinician-facing dashboards and alerts inside Epic for device-driven RPM programs. Patient context + Observation reads/writes + Showroom distribution, handled.
Care coordination & discharge
Transport, DME, post-acute placement, and any workflow that needs to live in the Epic patient chart. This is the segment VectorCare runs on SoFaaS™ itself.
Also: clinical decision support, patient engagement, specialty workflows, medical device dashboards. If your app launches inside Epic with SMART on FHIR, SoFaaS™ supports it.
You could build this. Most vendors who try it regret it.
