The Substitutable Medical Applications, Reusable Technologies (SMART) App Launch Framework connects third-party applications to Electronic Health Record (EHR) data, which allows apps to launch from inside or outside the user interface of an EHR system. This framework supports apps for use by clinicians, patients, and others through a patient portal, or any FHIR system where a user can give permissions to launch an app.
Essentially, FHIR defines the structure of where data would live and how it should look. EHRs are responsible for filling that structure with actual patient data. Finally, SMART defines how third-party apps launch within an EHR, how to determine which EHR user is interacting with the app, and what patient's data is being accessed.
This also allows Hyperdrive Web clients the ability to launch the Healthcare Web Viewer, FOS, SAS and Deficiency Pop for Epic using this integration.
To integrate SMART on FHIR with OnBase, the following must be in place:
-
Third-party app (EHR or Epic)
-
Application Server
-
Hyland IdP
-
EHR Auth server
Initially, only OnBase Epic Integration clients can use SMART on FHIR. Also, the SMART on FHIR module is limited to only the EHR App Launch.
