Hospital's 6-Week Integration Became My 6-Hour n8n Build
Major hospital. 50,000 patient forms monthly. Current system taking 6 weeks to integrate new form types.
Their vendor's process:
Week 1-2: "Requirements gathering"
Week 3-4: "Development sprint"
Week 5: "Testing phase"
Week 6: "Deployment and training"
Cost: $25,000 per form type
I asked "Can I see a sample form?" Built it live on our call.
THE SPEED RUN (n8n)
Created webhook endpoint
Set up form detection logic
Built extraction rules visually
Added validation checks
Connected to their EMR (test environment)
Deployed working prototype
Time: 6 hours (including 2 hours learning their EMR API)
Their IT director "But what about scale?" Processed 1,000 test forms in 12 minutes. Zero errors.
THE BUSINESS MODEL SHIFT
Old way: Pay $25k, wait 6 weeks
My way: Pay $2,500, works tomorrow
Current hospital clients: 3
Form types handled: 47
Monthly recurring: $8,500
Time spent monthly: Maybe 10 hours
THE PATTERN LIBRARY
Patient intake: 20 variations
Insurance forms: 15 variations
Consent documents: 12 variations
Lab requests: 8 variations
New form type? Usually 80% similar to existing. Just tweak and deploy.
BEST COMPLAINT EVER
"You make our $2M vendor look incompetent." Good. They are.
The enterprise world is drunk on complexity. Simple n8n workflows eating their lunch.
Who else is waiting weeks for "enterprise integration"?
