What's in this template
7 connected components you can rename, recolor, and extend with AI.
An EHR system diagram maps the core modules of an electronic health record platform and how they exchange data, including patient demographics, clinical documentation, computerized provider order entry, the pharmacy and medication module, lab and imaging interfaces, billing, and the patient portal. It shows how interface engines using HL7 and FHIR connect the EHR to external labs, billing systems, and health information exchanges.
Health IT analysts, integration engineers, and clinical informaticists use these diagrams to plan implementations, troubleshoot interfaces, and document how data flows across the system. They are particularly useful during an EHR migration, an interoperability project, or when onboarding technical staff to a complex clinical platform for the first time.
Great for
- EHR implementation
- Interoperability projects
- Interface troubleshooting
- Technical onboarding
- System migration planning

How to customize this template
- Open it in the canvas with Use this template.
- Use roles, not names, such as Triage nurse or Care manager. Never include patient names, record numbers, dates of birth or real case details.
- If you start from a photo of a whiteboard or a paper workflow, crop out anything that could identify a patient before uploading it.
- Label each handoff with what travels with it, such as a discharge summary or medication list, so gaps are easy to spot.
- Name the interface standard on integrations, for example Lab results (HL7 v2) or Patient app (FHIR), so IT reviewers know what is involved.
- Export a PNG or SVG for docs and slides, or a GIF or MP4 to keep the animation.
