Interoperability
Nepal's National Health Grid.
Ritrio acts as the interoperability hub for Nepal's healthcare ecosystem — enabling bidirectional data exchange between hospitals, insurers, government registries, and national health programs.
National Health Grid
A Connected Healthcare System for Nepal's 77 Districts
Nepal's healthcare system spans urban tertiary centers, district hospitals, primary health centers, and rural health posts across 77 districts. Ritrio's interoperability architecture provides the connective tissue that allows clinical data, patient identity, and financial information to flow securely between these disconnected nodes — supporting both urban healthcare networks and the national programs serving Nepal's most remote communities.

Clinical Standards
Open Standards. Native Integration.
HL7 FHIR R4 for bidirectional clinical data exchange with hospitals, labs, imaging centers, and national health registries.
HL7 version 2.5 messaging for laboratory results, order communication, and clinical event notification between systems.
Medical imaging integration — enabling radiology and imaging results to be accessible within the patient record across connected facilities.
X12 EDI for standardized insurance claims transmission — supporting NIA-aligned payer communication and adjudication workflows.
International diagnosis coding ensuring clinical data is coded for both national reporting standards and international classification requirements.
LOINC coding for laboratory and clinical observation data — enabling consistent interpretation of results across integrated systems.
Nepal Health Ecosystem
Connected to Nepal's Health Infrastructure.
Nepal's National Health Identifier registry for unified patient identity resolution across all Ritrio platforms and connected healthcare institutions.
openIMIS integration for Social Security Fund health insurance workflows — enabling SSF member verification and direct claims submission.
District Health Information System 2 integration for population health data reporting to national and district health authorities.
Nepal Insurance Authority payer network connectivity for multi-insurer claims adjudication, pre-authorization, and remittance.
Bidirectional data exchange with NepalEHR for institutions operating in mixed health IT environments.
OpenMRS adapter for hospitals and health programs using open-source medical records systems — supporting data migration and synchronization.
Architecture
Three-Mode Adapter Architecture
Every Ritrio integration operates on a three-mode adapter model — ensuring institutions can begin using Ritrio regardless of whether national systems are fully operational.
Full bidirectional integration with the external system — real-time data exchange with national registries, payer networks, and interoperability endpoints.
Simulation mode for testing and validation — institutions can verify clinical and administrative workflows before a national system goes live.
Staff-managed data entry and reconciliation when electronic integration is unavailable or pending activation — with full audit trail.
