How to Connect to Redox and Manage Your Dataset – Streamline

Integrating Redox as a data source allows your platform to securely access healthcare data from multiple EHR systems in a standardized FHIR format. This guide walks you through how to set up a Redox connection, explore the available data, and organize it into datasets for use in your workflows.

Note: Redox serves as a bridge between your application and healthcare systems (EHRs), providing normalized data using modern FHIR standards. This setup assumes that the Redox-side configuration (environment, authentication, and connection setup) has already been completed.

Part 1: Connect to the Redox Data Source

Step 1: Go to the Integrations Page

From your dashboard, navigate to the Integrations section. Click + Add New connection.

Step 2: Select Redox as Your Data Source

In the list of available data source types, choose Redox. &

Provide a connection name & description (e.g., Redox_Prod, Redox_Dev_HospitalA).

Tip: Use naming conventions that reflect the Redox environment (e.g., production vs. sandbox) or the specific healthcare organization.

Step 3: Enter Environment Details

To complete the setup:

Choose the Redox environment (sandbox, staging, or production).

Use the connection name as provided by your Redox integration team or account manager.

That's all you need to input—Redox handles the underlying connection to the EHR system after clicking Authenticate.

Step 4: Explore Your Redox Data

Once connected:

Visit the Data Catalog to explore entities (tables) and fields available in your Redox schema. The Data Catalog tab can be found on the left-hand panel under the Data section.
Use filters or the search box to locate specific data elements.

The Entity View displays tables, while the Data Field View lists individual columns with metadata like type and source.

Example of Data Fields View

Tip: Use search and filters to quickly find specific data resources or fields, such as patient.identifier or lab.result.

Part 2: Explore and Organize Redox Data

Once connected, Redox data (typically in FHIR format) becomes available to explore and structure into datasets.

Step 1: Create a Dataset from Redox Data

From the Datasets section:

Click + Create New Dataset.

Name your dataset.

Select Redox as the source. Choose a primary entity (e.g., Patient, AllergyIntolerance, Condition) to anchor your dataset. Assign a custom label to match internal naming or simplify clinical terms.

Step 3: Configure Field Access

Select the fields you want to configure to Writable or read-only access

Click Create when your configuration is complete.

Redox supports structured healthcare data across many FHIR resources. You may want to enrich your dataset with related entities, such as:

Linking Patient with Encounter or MedicationRequest.
Connecting Observation to a DiagnosticReport.

Use the Add Related Entity option under the primary entity to select related tables.

Optional: Create a Dataset from the Data Catalog

You can also build datasets directly from the schema browser:

In the Data Catalog section, open any FHIR resource entity. Click New Dataset from Entity.

Select or deselect fields, then save as a new dataset as previously covered.

Optional: Edit an Existing Dataset

To adjust a Redox-based dataset:

Go to Datasets and click Edit.

You can:

Add/remove related FHIR resources
Update field labels or classifications
Make structural changes as needed

Click Next & Update to save changes.

Summary

By connecting to Redox, you unlock access to standardized healthcare data across multiple EHR systems—without building individual integrations. Once the connection is in place, your team can structure this data into reusable datasets, allowing you to support healthcare workflows, analytics, and patient insights across systems.
