Health API Service

2min

At the heart of Founda's offerings, the Health API Service provides a central access point, enabling applications to seamlessly engage with connected Healthcare providers on the Founda Health Platform. Once they are authorized, applications can access the provider's data through standardized FHIR endpoints, making every integration scalable and reusable. The HealthAPI brings the intricacies, variability, and different interpretations of standards of the provider’s clinical systems into uniformity for applications and digital health solutions. Simplifying integrations with a do-it-once principle.

IHE Profiles

In addition to the basic FHIR RESTful API interactions the Health API provides support for a number of IHE Profiles including:

  • Patient Demographics Query for mobile (PDQm)
  • Query for Existing Data for mobile (QEDm)
  • Mobile Access to Health Documents (MHD)
  • Audit Trail & Node Authentication - Query and Feed (ATNAm)
  • Patient Identifier Cross-Reference for mobile (PIXm)

Each of these profile determine the responsibilities and behavior of the Founda Health platform towards connected client applications supporting the same profile(s).

Health API

The Health API service acts as a gateway to connected client applications. Client applications are not bothered how data is actually exchanged with the Provider Organization's clinical information systems. The connector deployed for a Provider Organization takes over that responsibility.
