Nextech API integration guide: Select API, FHIR and connection requests

The short answer

Nextech is vendor-gated. You submit a connection request through its developers portal, Nextech screens your app, and a Nextech representative issues partner API credentials. Its published getting-started material describes broad read access (demographics, appointments, clinical data) with very narrow write access.

The flavors to tell apart

Nextech sells several specialty lines: Select / NexCloud (dermatology, ophthalmology, plastics, orthopedics, med spa), IntelleChartPRO, Practice+ for practice management, and SRSPro for orthopedics. Confirm which one each customer runs, since the APIs and base URLs differ.

How access works

1. Submit the connection request on Nextech's developers portal.
2. Nextech screens your app's security.
3. Credentials come from a Nextech representative. Use is governed by Nextech's API terms, which state no connection fees for the APIs required under certified-EHR rules at this time.
4. Patient apps connect through the patient portal login after Nextech's screen.

What the APIs cover

Our take

Scope Nextech as read-first. If your product needs to book or file into the chart, get the current write scope from Nextech in writing before you commit, and plan the fallback.
