International Patient Access FHIR Specification

Authors: Grahame Grieve, Eric Haas, Rob Hausam, Vassil Peytchev, Mikael Rinnetmäki, Isaac Vetter

The International Patient Access API Specification describes how an application acting on behalf of a patient or a practitioner can access information about the patient from a clinical records system using a FHIR R4 based API. The clinical records system may be supporting a clinical care provider (e.g., a hospital or a general practitioner), a health data exchange, or other system managing patient records, including a national health record system (more...).

The specification is published at https://www.hl7.org/fhir/uv/ipa/.
