FHIR Integration

This module helps your clinic or hospital share electronic health records securely with other systems. It uses the standard FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) format. Using this screen, you can manage the "templates" that tell your system exactly how to package data—like a Patient profile or Appointment—when another hospital, lab, or app requests it.

When Do I Use This?

  • When setting up a new data connection with an external laboratory or government health registry.
  • When an IT administrator or external vendor gives you a "FHIR template" to add to your system so it can talk to their software.
  • When you need to update or turn off an existing data-sharing template.

How To Use

Adding a New FHIR Template

  1. Open the FHIR Templates screen from the main menu.
  2. Click + New to create a blank template.
  3. Enter a clear, descriptive Name for the integration.
  4. Select the Builder (this tells the system what type of record is being shared, such as a Patient).
  5. Paste the required integration code into the Body field.
  6. Ensure the Active box is checked so the system will use it.
  7. Click Save.

Disabling an Old Template

  1. Search for the template you want to turn off.
  2. Open the record and uncheck the Active box.
  3. Click Save. External systems will no longer be able to pull data using this specific format.

Field Descriptions

Field Name Description
Name A simple title for the template (e.g., "National Health Registry - Patient Export").
Builder The type of record in the system this template connects to (like Patient, Invoice, or Observation).
Active Controls whether this template is turned on. Only active templates will be used by the system to share data.
Body A large text box containing the technical code (usually JSON) that formats the data.
Tip: The Body field requires specific technical formatting. Unless you are trained in FHIR integration, you will usually just copy and paste the code provided by your IT department or integration partner directly into this box.
