Mount Sinai Health System

Mount Sinai Health System, one of the largest and most respected healthcare networks in New York, comprises eight hospital campuses and over 400 ambulatory practices. Since 2007, their Data and Interoperability Department has relied on Iguana to power a wide range of high-volume integration workflows supporting research, operations, financial analysis, and patient care.

Iguana enables Mount Sinai to ingest HL7 and CSV data from across all campuses and aggregate it into a centralized enterprise data warehouse. This unified source of truth empowers both clinical and administrative teams with the insights needed to drive informed decision-making. At the same time, Iguana delivers real-time HL7 ADT messages to a third-party population health platform, keeping care coordinators and public health agencies up to date on patient movements and enabling timely, coordinated care.

A highly visible use of Iguana on the front lines of patient interaction supports secure and efficient on-site access management. When patients arrive for appointments, Iguana helps transmit key demographic and scheduling data to building security systems—facilitating quick, policy-compliant access to the right locations.

In addition to these mature use cases, Mount Sinai has been actively exploring new ways to modernize its integration strategy. One such effort involves using Iguana to expose patient encounter data from internal systems via FHIR APIs for consumption by their Sema4 clinical and genomic insights platform. This positions Iguana as a critical link between Mount Sinai’s robust legacy data infrastructure and the emerging ecosystem of API-driven healthcare applications.

Across all use cases, Iguana continues to help Mount Sinai simplify integration across its expansive network, improve patient experiences, and unlock new levels of insight and coordination across research, analytics, and care delivery.
