21st Century Cures Act
ONC INTEROPERABILITY RULES AND API FUNCTIONALITY
The Final Rule calls for the industry to support Application Programming Interface (API) functionality. It requires that health IT certified through the ONC Health IT Certification Program has standardized APIs.
The ONC describes APIs as “powerful tools” that support interoperability.
An API token can be considered a “key,” in an electronic form, that makes it possible for software applications to connect. Both UnifiMD and Aprima have API functionality.
Due to the way current API technology is built, however, there isn’t a consistent way to plug an API token into an app such as Apple Health. The Cures Act proposes a standardized format known as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) that allows a new market of health apps to leverage data from any EHR in the standard format.
