I would be willing to bet the hospital you work at is paying several million a year for their EMR and all sorts of smaller contracts that probably nobody knows about. One of those contracts probably supports the integration you are looking to do and has not been configured yet because it has not went high up enough the food chain. I think you are better off asking contacting the IT department of the hospital and have them log a ticket to the EMR provider (probably Cerner or Epic) and have them look at it before getting too invested.

I second just telling the IT department about it so they can tell the vendor. I work for an EMR company and I'm pretty sure UCSF is one of our organizations. I don't know if the hospital will pay you extra for an interface solution that the EMR company is supposed to take care of. I'd check with your hospital first.
