            Data mapping failures in healthcare integrations almost never trace back to broken code. They trace back to unmapped exceptions, mismatched status definitions between systems, historical data that doesn't behave like current data, and reconciliation that gets added after the fact instead of built in from day one. Teams that treat mapping specs as living documents, not one-time deliverables, avoid most of the costly rework that shows up months after go-live.
