The HEALTHeWV system promotes systems integration with established interfaces, industry-standard platforms, open architecture and HL7 compliance.

HEALTHeWV utilizes the ASP (application service provider) model in its deployment to clinics. The NTTC, as the ASP, will host, manage, and deliver applications to multiple entities (users) from a remote data center across a wide area network.
