1upHealth & FHIR

1upHealth is building the world's most integrated FHIR® API platform. We already support the larges network of FHIR connections to healthcare systems, which your users can connect to with two clicks. 1upHealth provides a managed FHIR API Server with comprehensive support for FHIR resource types and data models. The 1up FHIR® API allows dynamic search, and supports version histories, Provenance, and AuditEvent tracking, all in a HIPAA compliant cloud. Any developer or health system can get started connecting patient data in minutes on the 1upHealth FHIR API platform.

FHIR (Fast Health Interoperability Resources) is an HL7® standard that brings RESTful APIs and a common format for hundreds of clinical data models to healthcare. If you're new to FHIR, the following is a high-level overview of how FHIR benefits all participants in the healthcare system.

For healthcare integrators, this means that traditional HL7 standard data formats and messages are going to transition to the FHIR formatted XML and JSON objects, with read and write functionality based on the GET/PUT/POST/DELETE functions used in web-based APIs.
For healthcare app developers, you will now be able to have atomic data access to individual items within resources like the Patient demographics or Observations for lab results among many other resources.
For healthcare systems, you can build and run applications on this new API standard and produce richer products with data connected from external systems. FHIR is required under the new rules of Meaningful Use 3.
For a patient, you can get and share your medical data in more ways than ever before, including share it with apps that you use. FHIR® also means you'll have more choices of apps in the near future.
For a payer, you can meet CMS Patient Access requirements, run analytics on aggregated clinical and claims data, and offer more third-party apps to your members.

1upHealth has proven that we are the experts in FHIR-based products and integrations. As a company we have won multiple awards and spoken at events on FHIR-related topics.

If you're an app developer building a healthcare application, you can get ahead of your competition by using the 1upHealth FHIR API. While others are worrying about standing up a FHIR Server, securing a HIPAA-compliant database, learning about a vendor's esoteric data model, and creating integrations with health systems, you can just build your app on the 1upHealth FHIR API Platform and get patient data flowing in minutes.
