Powering seamless, secure information flow across care networks
Founda’s Document Availability solution provides clinical teams with immediate, secure access to complete patient document histories across hospitals, HIEs and EHRs. Built on open standards, it supports clearer decisions, smoother coordination, and safer care transitions.
When key patient documents are siloed across hospitals and regions, care gets stuck
To deliver safe, connected care clinicians need reliable access to documents such as referral letters, discharge summaries, and consult notes to understand the full context of a patient's history. Yet these documents often remain siloed across hospitals and regions, stored in different systems and formats. As networks grow, sharing information becomes more complex. Manual exchanges, inconsistent workflows, incompatible systems slow decision-making and disrupt collaboration.
Document Availability removes these barriers by creating one secure, standards-based approach to keep essential patient information accessible across the care journey.
What connected document access enables
Timely clinical decisions
Immediate access to key documents helps clinicians work with the context they need at the point of care.
Smoother care coordination
Shared access across hospitals and providers supports safer, more predictable care transitions.
Scalable regional collaboration
Move beyond brittle, point-to-point integrations with a standards-based network that allows new hospitals and clinics to be onboarded in weeks, not months.
Better clinician experience
Eliminates time spent searching for faxed or emailed documents by making information accessible within existing workflows.
Trusted data exchange
Secure workflows and embedded governance support data integrity and compliance across every connection.
Compliance, without the chaos
Enforce consent policies, access control, and information lifecycle management centrally. With built-in audit trails and standards alignment, IT teams can easily meet regulatory demands.
For clinicians
Access the right patient documents, right when they’re needed
Founda’s Document Availability connects hospitals, regions, and EHRs to provide clinicians with secure access to essential patient documents. This supports clinical decisions and care coordination by enabling teams to:
- View key clinical documents such as referral letters, discharge summaries, and consult notes in one unified timeline.
- Retrieve documents from connected sites without switching systems.
- Access documents directly within existing workflows, using a consistent and standards-based connection across data sources.

For IT teams
Built to exchange, manage, and govern clinical documents
Founda’s Document Availability gives IT teams a secure, scalable way to share and manage patient documents across hospitals and regions. It works by:
- Enabling document exchange using IHE XDS and CDA standards.
- Centralizing access control with configurable consent management and role-based permissions.
- Standardizing and transforming data formats to ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance across the network.


For IT teams
The foundation for compliant, connected information exchange
A secure, standards-based platform that supports reliable, scalable document access across networks using IHE profiles such as XDS and MHD enabling document exchange over HL7 and FHIR interfaces within the hospital or with external vendors.
Standards-based availability
Core support for IHE XDS, MHD, CDA, and PDF for structured, interoperable, and readable content across internal systems or external vendors.
Advanced data management
Includes transformations, consent management, and lifecycle controls.
Centralized security and monitoring
Role-based access, audit trails, and alerting support stable and compliant operations.
Scalable architecture
Repeatable configurations simplify onboarding for new hospitals and clinics in weeks, not months.
Reliable operations
Secure connectivity management with built-in access controls, monitoring, and alerting helps keep document exchange stable, secure, and performant.
Built on trust, interoperability, and performance
Standards-based interoperability
Built on global healthcare standards including HL7, FHIR, DICOM, and IHE interoperability profiles to connect systems and networks while minimizing custom integrations and reducing vendor lock-in.
Secure by design
Security is embedded at every layer -from encryption and access controls to identity management and audit logs. Built to protect sensitive data while supporting operational integrity at scale.
Scalable infrastructure
Expands effortlessly from local implementations to regional or national networks, maintaining high performance and reliability as data and users grow.
Modular architecture
Flexible by design. Deploy and combine solutions as needed to meet organizational goals, use cases, and adapt to evolving workflows.
API-first foundation
Built as secure, well-documented APIs to simplify integration and accelerate innovation - while also offering UI components for teams who prefer to embed instead of build.
Embedded compliance
Regulatory alignment is built into every capability, with consent handling, auditability, and policy-driven controls supporting healthcare privacy standards across regions.

Flexble setup, based on your environment
Founda supports three deployment models so healthcare organizations can choose the setup that aligns with their security, compliance, high availability and operational needs. All models follow the same security-first principles, proactive monitoring, and structured maintenance approach, with upgrades adapted to the specifics of each environment.
Cloud
Orchestration and processing run fully in the cloud. Fast to deploy, highly scalable, and automated, with cloud-first updates and security patches that reduce manual effort. Fits organizations prioritizing scalability, automation, and cost-efficiency.
On-premise
All components run within the hospital's infrastructure. Provides full control of data, security, and compliance, supported by tailored upgrade schedules and local maintenance. Suits organizations with strict regulatory requirements and predictable environments, with higher IT involvement and manual scaling.
Hybrid
Processing stays on-premise where PHI is handled, while orchestration runs in the cloud. Balances regulatory compliance with cloud agility. Cloud components update quickly, while on-premise components follow controlled upgrade cycles aligned with local compliance needs.
Every patient deserves care informed by complete, connected information
Document Availability bridges the gap between fragmented data and coordinated care, helping clinical teams and IT leaders build the foundation for trusted, interoperable healthcare networks.
