Your central resource for connecting Surescripts products to your FHIR APIs.

FHIR Connect provides a secure, standardized connection between Surescripts and customer FHIR environments. Organizations implement FHIR Connect once and use it to support contracted Surescripts products that require access to clinical data. Authentication, authorization, and FHIR API interactions are managed through a common integration framework designed to support current and future FHIR-enabled solutions.

FHIR Connect provides:

- Secure OAuth 2.0 and JWT-based authentication
- Standardized access to customer FHIR APIs
- Dynamic tenant and connection routing capabilities
- Directory-based provider and organization mapping 
- A shared integration framework for multiple Surescripts products 
- Support for single-tenant and multi-tenant architectures

# How It Works (High-Level)

- Register a FHIR application with your system
- Configure authentication and connection details
- FHIR Connect requests and manages access tokens
- Contracted Surescripts products initiate FHIR requests
- Clinical data is securely retrieved from your FHIR APIs

# Standards Information

FHIR Connect leverages industry standards and implementation guidance, including:

- [HL7® FHIR® R4.0.1](https://hl7.org/fhir/r4/index.html)
- [US Core Implementation Guide](https://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU4/)
- [SMART Backend Services Authorization](https://hl7.org/fhir/uv/bulkdata/authorization.html)
- [RFC 6749: The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749)
