Our EHR And EMR Software Development Services
Square Root Solutions UK offers custom EHR and EMR software development services for healthcare organisations that need a system built around their care model, data flows, and delivery requirements. Our services cover new platform development, integration, migration, modernisation, mobile access, and patient-facing record systems, helping providers replace fragmented tools with software that fits their operational reality.
Custom EHR/EMR end-to-end development
We design and build custom EHR and EMR platforms from discovery through launch for healthcare organisations that need a system shaped around their own workflows, specialties, users, and reporting demands. This service is suited to providers replacing disconnected processes, launching a new digital care model, or building a record platform that cannot be supported by off-the-shelf software.
EHR consulting and discovery
Our consulting and discovery service helps healthcare organisations define what the EHR should do before development starts. We analyse workflows, users, compliance requirements, integration points, data structures, and delivery constraints, then turn that into a clear scope and product direction, reducing early-stage ambiguity and helping decision-makers move into architecture and build phases with more confidence.
EHR system integration
We connect EHR platforms with the wider healthcare technology environment so clinical, administrative, and patient-facing systems can exchange data reliably. This service covers standards-based integration, third-party API connectivity, and workflow-level data movement across systems such as NHS services, labs, pharmacy tools, radiology platforms, and other connected healthcare applications.
EHR implementation and deployment
Implementation and deployment covers the operational work required to move the EHR into live use. We configure workflows, manage rollout planning, support user readiness, coordinate staged activation, and control the transition from build to production, helping healthcare organisations reduce disruption during go-live and improve adoption across clinical and administrative teams.
EHR migration from legacy systems
Healthcare providers often need to replace legacy software without losing clinical history, structured records, or document continuity. Our migration service covers extraction, transformation, field mapping, validation, and controlled transfer from older record systems into a new EHR environment, helping organisations modernise safely whilst preserving critical data.
EHR modernization and re-platforming
Some organisations do not need a full rebuild. They need to improve an ageing system that no longer supports interoperability, performance, security, or future service growth. Our modernisation service reworks legacy architecture, upgrades technical foundations, and prepares the platform for integration, scalability, and easier long-term maintenance.
Mobile EHR and mHealth app development
We build mobile EHR and mHealth applications for clinicians, care teams, and patient use cases that require secure access outside fixed desktop environments. This includes chart access, alerts, care documentation, patient communication, and workflow actions on mobile devices, helping organisations extend EHR value into field care, community settings, and point-of-care use.
PHR software development
Our personal health record development service gives patients controlled access to their own health information through secure digital platforms. These systems help providers support patient engagement, record visibility, care plan access, secure communication, and data portability, whilst giving service users a more active role in their own care journey.
Core features of a custom EHR/EMR system
A clinically sound UK EHR demands SNOMED CT-coded documentation, NHS-integrated scheduling, FHIR-compliant prescribing, real-time population analytics, and DSP Toolkit-aligned security. Square Root Solutions UK engineers each module to align with NHS clinical models, CQC requirements, and UK care team efficiency standards.
Let's ConnectPatient management and scheduling
Our patient management module handles NHS number verification, PDS demographics, appointment scheduling, waiting list management, referral tracking, and recall workflows. Scheduling rules are configurable by consultant, site, and appointment type, supporting NHS 18-week RTT targets and reducing administrative burden across multi-site UK organisations.
Clinical documentation and charting
Square Root Solutions UK builds structured clinical documentation engines with SNOMED CT-coded templates, GP SOAP note workflows, dictation-to-text transcription, and co-signature routing, producing time-stamped, user-attributed, audit-compliant chart entries that meet NHS clinical record standards and CQC inspection requirements.

Frequently asked questions about EHR software development
EHR software stores and shares patient health records across multiple healthcare providers, while EMR software stores patient records within a single provider's system. EHR systems enable data exchange between hospitals, labs, and clinics. EMR systems limit access to one organization and support internal diagnosis and treatment tracking
A custom EHR system in the UK typically costs £90,000 to £350,000 for a basic to mid-sized platform and £350,000 to £1.5 million or more for a complex system. UK cost depends on NHS integration, GDPR compliance, hosting, security, interoperability, and development scope. Patient portals, e-prescribing, and analytics increase total cost.
A custom EHR system typically takes 6 to 18 months to build, depending on feature scope, integrations, compliance, and team size. A basic MVP may take 4 to 6 months. A mid-sized platform often takes 6 to 12 months. A complex enterprise EHR with interoperability, billing, and patient portals can take 12 to 18 months or longer.
Yes, a custom EHR system can integrate with an existing practice management system through APIs, HL7, FHIR, middleware, or custom connectors. Integration usually covers patient records, scheduling, billing, claims, and reporting. The exact method depends on your current vendor, available API access, data structure, and security requirements.
Yes, ongoing support usually starts after go-live and includes system monitoring, bug fixes, security updates, performance optimization, user support, and compliance maintenance.
