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 2015 Edition Cures Update 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
take the challenge out of taking FHIR and OAuth services live.
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’s
HealthToGo® Sandbox
client application is available as a test harness and has already been used
by many of our partners to successfully demonstrate FHIR
services during certification testing. For production use,
EMR Direct stands up a FHIR endpoint for each production-enabled phiQuery site.
