Build Patient Portal on Altera Digital Health EHR with DrapCode
DrapCode builds custom patient portals around Altera Digital Health EHR environments, creating patient-facing experiences aligned with hospital workflows, care journeys, and supported integration options.
Trusted by Healthcare Innovators
1,000+ organizations trust DrapCode to help healthcare teams launch secure & HIPAA-compliant applications.
More Than One EHR
Altera Digital Health’s EHR portfolio includes Sunrise for midsized hospitals, Paragon Denali for rural and community hospitals, and TouchWorks EHR for large multidisciplinary practices. That means a patient portal project must begin with the Altera product your organization actually uses. DrapCode can shape the front end around that environment rather than treating every Altera implementation the same.
Follow the Care Journey
For Sunrise organizations, Altera offers Sunrise CarePath, a mobile patient engagement platform integrated with Sunrise EHR. It supports health record and care plan access, secure messaging, appointment scheduling, reminders, and personalized patient experiences. A custom portal may be relevant when a health system needs different branding, navigation, service discovery, or organization-specific journeys. Any direct connection must be planned around the interfaces and access available for the specific Altera implementation.

Patient Resources

Personalized Journeys
Build front-end pathways around different patient populations, specialties, services, and organizational care requirements.
Map the Altera Environment
Integration planning should account for the specific Altera platform, version, workflows, and interoperability services already deployed. Altera states that its applications are adopting FHIR for standardized clinical data exchange. DrapCode can map these requirements before development, just as it would when planning a patient portal on Carepatron EHR. This helps separate what belongs in the custom patient experience from what must remain within the underlying clinical system.
Build Around the Hospital
For a health system, patient access often crosses departments rather than ending with one appointment. A useful front end should reflect how patients actually move between registration, visits, follow-up care, information, and ongoing services. DrapCode can design those journeys without presenting the portal as a replacement for the EHR, using the same workflow-first principle applied to a patient portal on eClinicalWorks EHR . Data-dependent functionality is included only where the underlying system and approved implementation support it.
