SMART on FHIR: Part 1
August 2, 2014 3 Comments
With the 7th connectathon coming up, we’ve looked at the first scenario (Patient access) in a couple of posts and how we can use a couple of the libraries (.net and java) to make this almost trivial to achieve. (btw you don’t have to use these libraries of course – FHIR by itself uses standard technologies so there are a ton of different ways to do this if you already have the technology to do so, or use a different language).
In this post we’re going to take a look at the 3rd connectathon scenario – SMART on FHIR. There’s a lot of information about what this is trying to achieve (the connectathon site has links) so we won’t repeat that here – the ‘elevator pitch’ is that it establishes standards that enable the development of independent applications that can securely access data in any server supporting those standards – this could be an EHR, EMR, Portal or HIE.
