Case Study: Integrated Health Information Systems generates COVID-19 recovery reports with iText 7 Core

Integrated Health Information Systems launches PDF reports in one quarter with iText

Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS), Singapore's public healthcare IT provider, faced the challenge of rapidly integrating PDF generation and printing capabilities into its custom Health Discovery platform. The system was used to monitor COVID-19 patients in Community Care Facilities, and healthcare professionals needed to print on-demand reports from the collected vital signs data. The IHiS team needed a solution that could be quickly implemented and integrated into their existing architecture, leading them to the vendor iText and its product iText 7 Core.

The solution was implemented using iText 7 Core to develop an API that dynamically populates report templates with patient data and streams the resulting PDFs back to the user. The team found integration to be straightforward and required minimal support. As a result, the PDF generation capability was developed and went live within a single quarter of 2022, reliably producing the required formatted reports for printing. iText met all of IHiS's requirements, enabling healthcare professionals to quickly generate vital reports and freeing them to focus on more urgent patient care tasks.
