About HL7 FHIR Services
What is HL7 FHIR?
HL7® FHIR® is an open standard used to access health information over
the internet. This protocol allows for simple, HIPAA-compliant, access to health
information by patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. The phiQuery
FHIR integration API in EMR Direct’s Interoperability Engine software makes
it easy for health data holders to make FHIR resources available to
users and client applications they authorize.
Health IT developers can use EMR Direct's FHIR services to meet ONC Certification Criteria for Application
access (g.7, g.9) and Standardized API for patient and population services (g.10).
EMR Direct’s
easy-integration Developer tools
help our partners easily add FHIR, OAuth, and OpenID Connect to their platforms. Once FHIR-enabled, resources at HealthToGo App Studio round out our offering by providing the API management platform needed to service third party application developers today and as FHIR requirements advance in future years.
Interop Engine 2021 also includes support for client credentials, bulk data, and independent app registration. Check out our FHIR product overview video or Summer FHIR Works sessions to learn more about adding FHIR support and a complete API management platform to your system in the fewest steps possible. EMR Direct is a leading innovator in
the FHIR ecosystem, offering support for SMART and UDAP
trust frameworks.
How does it work?
As with our Direct service, EMR Direct Interoperability Engine’s FHIR as a
service uses a similar easy-integration connector model. Our phiQuery connector
makes it easy for EMR vendors to meet the new Application Access API certification
requirements that allow authorized users to access their health data with FHIR
and third party client applications of their choice.
Once phiQuery service is integrated into EMR software, EMR Direct passes simple
query requests to the data holder. The data holder determines what
health information is returned
in response to each authorized user or client application request.
EMR Direct offers an Inferno Testing Guide to prepare our partners who have implemented phiQuery for ONC Certification FHIR testing. For production use,
EMR Direct stands up a FHIR endpoint for each production-enabled phiQuery site.
