Public Data

Making the most of health data requires an existing base of information connected to that health data. For example, knowing the NPI number a patient saw is great, but knowing the specialization of the doctor associated with that NPI is even better. Similarly seeing an NDC code show up in a medications list is not helpful without knowing the actual name of that medication and the packaging dosage. For this reason, we provide a FHIR® API with much of this information already populated.

DSTU2 Public Data

To query any open data just append _public=true parameter to any FHIR® endpoint. Like any other request against our platform, you must have a valid access_token to query our public data. The following is an example of how you could find a list of all the public doctors (FHIR® provider) on 1upHealth.

curl -XGET 'https://api.1up.health/dstu2/Practitioner?_public=true' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer access_token'

Populated FHIR® Resources

Medications, Practitioners, and Organization resources are populated using open data. These all have public permissions and are returned when using any valid auth token.

Other Available Data

In addition to fully populated FHIR® resources, when data is imported into 1upHealth we appropriately link it to the appropriate codes. For example, LOINC, ICD, and DRGs.
