- Developer program
- eMedicalPractice FHIR API
- Certified FHIR access
- FHIR R4 (US Core 6.1.0), mostly read
- Scheduling write
- Not published
The short answer
eMedicalPractice (eMedPractice LLC, not to be confused with eMDs, now CGM Aprima) publishes a certified FHIR R4 API with online app registration. Patient apps are approved quickly; system-level and bulk access gets a manual review. Most resources are read-only, and scheduling isn't exposed.
How access works
- Create a developer account and register your app online, declaring usage and accepting the API terms.
- eMedicalPractice approves the app and issues a practice code used in your endpoint URLs.
- System and bulk scopes need manual approval, and can require a business justification, data-flow diagram and security documentation.
- Practices can require manual approval for every app.
What the APIs cover
| Job | Path on eMedicalPractice |
|---|---|
| Certified clinical read | FHIR R4, US Core 6.1.0 / USCDI v3 |
| Bulk export | System, patient and group level |
| Writes | Limited (documents and diagnostic reports, plus a few administrative resources) |
| Scheduling | Not exposed in the published API |
| Rate limit | Default 5 requests per minute per client |
Our take
Good for reading the chart and filing documents. For booking, plan the alternative from day one: a vendor conversation or a practice-authorized route that respects eMedicalPractice's terms.
