All summer long, our Feature Fridays series is spotlighting the capabilities that make Zus data more powerful, more actionable, and—most importantly—more usable for the people who need it most. 

This week’s star: the embeddable ZAP. If you’ve seen the ZAP in action, you know it’s more than just a pretty UI—it’s the single, unified view of a patient’s health, powered by all of Zus’ data gathering, enrichment, and reconciliation magic (see: Common Patient Record and Intelligent Refresh). But here’s the thing: a single source of truth only matters if it’s available everywhere your team needs it.

The embeddable ZAP lets you bring that same, real-time patient record into any workflow–inside or outside the EMR. Using industry-standard technologies like SMART on FHIR launch, we’ve made it simple to place the ZAP wherever your teams work:

  • In the EMR, so a physician sees the full story before a visit
  • In a customer portal or patient relationship management (PRM) system for outreach staff
  • On a mobile device for care managers on the go

One Zus client uses the embeddable ZAP in two places: inside their EMR via SMART on FHIR and in their own homegrown application via iFrame. That means physicians and outreach staff are working off the same unified record, including hard-to-find details like up-to-date patient contact info.

Why you should care

Consistency matters. “One patient record” shouldn’t just mean one database—it should mean one experience. Wherever you access the ZAP, it looks the same, feels the same, and draws from the exact same, reconciled dataset. That builds trust and reduces training time across teams.

It’s also quick to implement—we’ve stood up custom embedded ZAPs for clients in under a week—and responsive enough to work seamlessly on small screens, so mobile workflows don’t suffer. And while the look and feel are consistent, we allow client-level configuration so the ZAP can flex to different use cases without sacrificing its core integrity.

And if you’re already working in one of our many EHR and CRM partners, such as athenahealth, Canvas, Healthie, Elation and others, the embeddable ZAP is even easier to roll out. In most cases, you can simply turn it on and start seeing the unified record right where you already work, with no heavy lift from your team.

How this connects to the bigger picture

The embeddable ZAP is part of the same value chain as the Chronic Condition Enrichment and Intelligent Refresh features we’ve highlighted in earlier Feature Fridays. Those features make the ZAP smarter; embedding it makes those smarts available—whether you’re prepping a chart, closing a care gap, or onboarding a new patient into a value-based program.

Because the ZAP is powered by Zus’ full interoperability and enrichment engine, every embedded view includes:

  • Fresh, reconciled data from across national networks
  • Enriched condition, medication, and encounter information
  • Standardized formats that make patient data usable across teams

From “one record” to “one record, everywhere”

When your team can see the same, up-to-date patient record in the system they’re already using, you cut friction, reduce delays, and keep everyone aligned. That’s the embeddable ZAP: the same unified record, available wherever care happens.
