Is Akido Labs meant to be hired by hospitals to support easier integration with vendors? Or meant to be used by HIT vendors to more easily offer integration with different hospitals?

Hey @joshpadnick, great question - It's both!

On one hand, Akido is a technology + service that offloads the entire integration process for application vendors (analytics, patient engagement, scheduling, etc!), lab/diagnostics vendors, and connected hardware vendors.

On the other hand, hospitals have a solution for integration that provides more granular control over their data, and a far smoother integration process.

I'd also like to add that it's a free platform for health systems :).

To clarify a bit, a hospital or clinic wouldn't really "hire" us -- Akido is software that's implemented on-site or in the cloud, and is supported remotely.
