Integration Compendium
Overview
Ovation can integrate with other systems through Ovation's API and webhooks or by using features that import and export HL7 messages. These integrations often require you to know what values are expected and allowed and, in many cases, that list of values depends on how Ovation is configured for you -- and even how it is configured for the specific projects and requisition templates you use.
Use the Download Compendium feature to download these lists in a form that you can easily scan, load into another system or just share with your integration development team.
