Challenge 5: Explore FHIR medical records through FHIR Dashboard and SMART on FHIR apps
< Previous Challenge - Home - Next Challenge>
Introduction
In this challenge, you will explore patient medical records and SMART on FHIR apps through the FHIR Dashboard app.
What is SMART on FHIR? SMART ((Substitutable Medical Applications and Reusable Technology) on FHIR is a set of open specifications to integrate partner apps with FHIR Servers and other Health IT systems, i.e. Electronic Health Records and Health Information Exchanges. By creating a SMART on FHIR application, you can ensure that your application can be accessed and leveraged by different systems.
Azure API for FHIR has a built-in Azure AD SMART on FHIR proxy to integrate partner apps with FHIR Servers and EMR systems through FHIR interfaces. This set of open specifications describes how an app should discover authentication endpoints for FHIR Server and start an authentication sequence. Specifically, the proxy enables the EHR launch sequence.
