Build Products, Not Plumbing: ReasonHub for Vendors
ReasonHub provides the FHIR-native infrastructure for your clients asking for next-generation use cases like knowledge-based quality measurement, prior authorization, and care management. Focus on differentiation, not plumbing.

As payers and providers transition from proprietary data models to FHIR-based interoperability, the competitive landscape for healthcare software is shifting to who can deliver high-value, knowledge-based use cases.
FHIR has revolutionized healthtech by standardizing interoperability, but it doesn't solve the "last mile" problems of managing the computable clinical knowledge that powers quality measurement, prior authorization, care management, and clinical decision support. Every vendor building these capabilities faces the same infrastructure questions: How do we author, validate, version, and distribute clinical logic? How do we manage terminology? How do we keep content in sync with evolving standards?
Most vendors respond by building custom infrastructure, investing engineering resources in problems that don't differentiate their solutions. This slows time-to-market, creates maintenance debt, and diverts talent from core features that customers actually pay for.
ReasonHub provides a different path: a FHIR-native knowledge management *platform that handles the infrastructure layer, letting you focus on the *clinical, analytical, or workflow features that make your services valuable to *clients.

| Data Integration & Interoperability | ETL pipelines, FHIR transformation, data quality monitoring | Terminology operations, ConceptMap authoring, StructureDefinition management | REST terminology services ($translate, $validate-code), Vector embeddings for semantic matching |
| Risk Adjustment & Analytics | HCC capture, suspecting algorithms, actuarial reporting | Condition/diagnosis ValueSets, Library (CQL) for suspecting rules, ConceptMaps for code harmonization | CQL Execution APIs, Terminology operations, FHIR Package distribution |
| Specialty-Specific Clinical Tools | Disease-specific registries, treatment planning, clinical trial matching | Specialty terminology (oncology, cardiology, etc.), evidence-based PlanDefinitions | MCP integration for AI agents, Semantic search over clinical content, Custom authoring UIs |
| Payer Technology Platforms | Claims processing, utilization management, provider network management | Medical policy encoding, formulary ValueSets, network directory terminology | Multi-tenant governance, API-driven policy management, Bulk Export for adjudication engines |

The ReasonHub Advantage
For healthcare software companies, the choice is clear:
Build In-House:
- 6-12 months of infrastructure development
- Ongoing maintenance of terminology services, CQL validation, FHIR conformance
- Engineering resources diverted from product differentiation
- Risk of falling behind evolving standards
Integrate ReasonHub:
- Launch in weeks with production-ready, CRMI-compliant knowledge infrastructure
- Focus engineering on analytics, UX, and workflow innovation instead of maintaining terminology services and validators
- Inherit standards compliance and best practices, staying current with evolving FHIR IGs
- Scale content management without scaling infrastructure investment
- Enable faster response to regulatory changes (CMS 0057, Digital HEDIS, etc.)
Accelerate Your Product with ReasonHub
Your customers are asking for prior authorization automation, digital quality measures, and computable care management. Building knowledge infrastructure in-house will cost you 6-12 months and ongoing maintenance overhead. ReasonHub delivers production-ready FHIR knowledge management in weeks, letting you compete on features that differentiate your product instead of the plumbing beneath it.
Standards provide the framework. ReasonHub provides the infrastructure. Your *product provides the value.
