Building Healthcare Backends with Xano
Xano provides healthcare teams with a visual backend that enforces access control, handles complex clinical workflows, and integrates with EHR systems via HL7 or FHIR APIs, without writing server-side code from scratch. App Studio builds HIPAA-conscious healthcare backends on Xano for telehealth, patient management, and clinical tools.
Why Xano for healthcare APIs
Clinical workflows have complex multi-step logic: appointment booking with availability checking, result delivery with notification orchestration, and referral workflows with external provider handoffs. Xano's function stack handles this complexity visually, with full control over data access at each step.
Access control and PHI protection
Xano supports role-based access control at the API level, endpoints can be gated by user role (patient, clinician, admin), and field-level encryption protects sensitive PHI fields at rest. We design every healthcare Xano backend with principle of least privilege.
EHR and clinical system integration
Xano's external API connector integrates with HL7 FHIR endpoints, EPIC and Cerner APIs, and telehealth platforms via REST. We orchestrate patient data lookups, appointment creates, and result pushes across multiple healthcare systems.
Healthcare backends we have built
A telehealth platform backend with session management and clinician availability API; a dental practice management backend with appointment booking and insurance validation; and a clinical trial backend with participant eligibility screening, all on Xano.
Common questions
Does Xano have a HIPAA BAA?
Yes. Xano offers a Business Associate Agreement on its Business and Enterprise plans, making it suitable for healthcare applications that handle PHI.
Can Xano integrate with EPIC EHR?
Yes. EPIC provides FHIR-compliant APIs that Xano connects to via its external API connector. We build patient data sync, appointment integrations, and result retrieval functions in Xano.
