Halo Connect was built to solve the healthcare interoperability crisis, focusing on protecting on-premise IT infrastructure, making integration easier and cheaper, and doing it in a safe and privacy-compliant way.
Halo Connect is an integration layer between Bp Premier and third-party developers who are Bp Partners. Without a service like Halo Connect, each third-party developer wishing to interact with Bp Premier would have to develop their own service to run in each GP clinic. With Halo Connect installed alongside Bp Premier, third-party developers only need to be approved as a Bp Partner to perform the operations they need through Halo Connect’s API.
Halo Connect stores no data, and the platform cannot access Practice data. Data is transferred via secure methods between the Medical Practice and software integrators using the credentials provided to the integrator by Best Practice.
FAQ for Practices

Halo Connect will only function at the point of integration with a third-party solution that accesses Best Practice Software’s API.
Halo Connect relies on the third-party solutions being enabled through configuration in Bp Premier.
This will depend on the third-party integrator and whether they use Halo Connect. Over time, more and more software integrators will use Halo Connect for their integration, which means less work for your IT service providers in managing all the local connectors on your database, and there will be more integrated products available for you to leverage in your Practice via the Best Practice Partner Network.
No data is stored by Halo Connect and Halo Connect does not have access to medical practice data. Data is transferred via secure methods between data integrators.
