Epic Systems is trying to get providers’ electronic health record systems connected through a new app program that uses Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources or FHIR.
App Orchard aims to serve both physician office and hospital clients that want to build their own customized applications and outside developers of mobile applications for providers and patients.
App allows developers to use a FHIR-based application program interface to access a development sandbox. Developers then can work out the connection kinks between their apps and Epic’s EHR.
