Overview

SMART on FHIR takes advantage of a new and powerful set of health data standards called Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, or FHIR. By using HL7’s FHIR for the clinical data layer, SMART offers a standards-based platform with broad reach, a rich set of detailed models, and the opportunity to create population-level as well as patient-level apps. SMART on FHIR also uses an updated set of authorization and authentication standards including OAuth2 and OpenID Connect.
