Working with the FHIR API in Practice: Epic, athenahealth, Medplum

A WEDI survey found that 52% of providers and 43% of payers had not started work on their FHIR API requirements. Compliance is due January 1, 2027. Many of those teams will learn that a FHIR API integration is not one project. Epic, athenahealth, and Medplum each add their own approvals, access rules, and gaps.

EHR Write-Back: Why Reading Data Is Easy and Writing Is Hard
