VectorCare Unveils SoFaaS™: A New Era for Healthcare Innovation
San Francisco-based tech company VectorCare has made a significant leap in healthcare technology with the introduction of SoFaaS™ (SMART on FHIR as a Service). This innovative platform is crafted to streamline the way healthcare vendors and service providers can develop and implement applications that are integrated with Electronic Health Records (EHRs). By effectively transforming the existing complexities of embedding applications into EHRs, SoFaaS is set to become a game-changer in the healthcare sector.
Addressing the Challenges of EHR Integration
For years, the process of integrating new applications within EHR systems has been bogged down by lengthy deployment times, substantial costs, and intricate compliance requirements. Even the most well-funded developers have faced challenges that stretch on for months or even years, stemming from security assessments, compliance verification, and installation difficulties before their solutions can reach actual clinical users.
SoFaaS™ aims to eliminate such barriers. According to David Emanuel, CEO and Founder of VectorCare, the platform provides a secure and compliant infrastructure that allows healthcare vendors to embed their services directly into clinical workflows within a matter of weeks, rather than years. This shift enables service providers to focus on what truly matters: delivering value through improved logistics in care coordination, transportation, home health, and remote patient monitoring.
Key Features of SoFaaS™
SoFaaS™ goes beyond merely being a toolkit; it serves as a robust infrastructure. The platform contains several notable features:
- - SMART on FHIR-Compliant Application Framework
- - No-Code Workflow Builder for integrating EHR-native use cases
- - Rapid Deployment Options across various EHR environments, starting with Epic
- - Enterprise-Grade Security, Governance, and Compliance measures
- - Comprehensive Installation and Configuration for health systems
- - Continuous Operational Support and workflow orchestration
These features collectively empower healthcare vendors to expedite their transition from concept to operational deployment without the burden of creating or maintaining their own EHR integration infrastructure.
VectorCare's Strategic Role
VectorCare clarifies its position within the ecosystem, making it known that it is not a broker, nor a transportation provider, and it does not compete with vendors within EHR systems. Instead, it identifies itself as the backbone infrastructure that enables vendors to embed their services directly into clinical workflows safely and efficiently. This direct approach ensures that vendors retain control over their business relationships and models while scaling their services into the healthcare sector.
Proven Success with Real-World Applications
The launch of SoFaaS™ is built on VectorCare's past successes in deploying EHR-embedded workflows. In 2025, they launched their own embedded SMART on FHIR application within Epic, which included the innovative integration of Lyft's SMART on FHIR app, optimizing transportation and care coordination.
This application serves as a blueprint, demonstrating how effective embedding of services can streamline care management. Leveraging the same internal frameworks, operational systems, and tools, SoFaaS™ opens up the possibility for other partners to do the same.
Paving the Way for Future Innovations
As the healthcare landscape evolves beyond traditional hospital walls, SoFaaS™ provides a vital infrastructure that allows for real-time service delivery within EHRs, enhancing visibility and continuity across various care settings. Current use cases in progress include:
- - Seamless transportation scheduling, integrating Lyft
- - Home health and post-acute care referrals
- - Ordering Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
- - Facilitating remote patient monitoring data flows
- - Addressing community-based social determinants of health services
The introduction of SoFaaS™ highlights VectorCare's commitment to reducing friction in healthcare service coordination, ultimately making it easier and more cost-effective for providers to deliver integrated, efficient care.
