OpenMRS releases SMART Module
SMART and OpenMRS are proud to announce the initial release of a SMART module for OpenMRS.
This module expands the reach of the SMART API by allowing apps to run (unmodified!) on the open-source Open Medical Record System. It also provides a lightweight interface for developers who want to extend the functionality of OpenMRS.
Work on this module began as a Google Summer of Code project and continued through the fall with support from the OpenMRS team.
The initial release provides developers access to the SMART Connect API in OpenMRS. SMART REST API support is planned for a future release.

SMART Preview Release v0.3

The SMART team has published a new preview release (v0.3) of the SMART platform. With this release, we are rolling out a number of API changes incorporating feedback from the $5K challenge, simplifying some of the infrastructure, and adding some new data types. We have already updated the public sandbox with the v0.3 code, as well as the developer’s guide.
One of the main changes with v0.3 is that SMART apps are no longer required to have a bootstrap.html. The apps are now launched directly from index.html with the oauth tokens passed as a get parameter. For a more complete run-down on updating your SMART application code, please see: http://wiki.chip.org/smart-project/index.php/Developers_Documentation:_Changelog
We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions about the new release.

Challenge Winners Applaud SMART
“Polyglot Systems has developed a number of products that can improve health outcomes and decrease costs. Despite these benefits, achieving widespread adoption is extremely difficult if the products cause any interruption in provider workflow. This makes EMR/EHR integration essential. The SMART Platform offers Polyglot a way to quickly and affordably integrate its products across multiple EMR and EHR systems. By doing so, the SMART Platform lets Polyglot and other innovators deploy their solutions much more broadly and quickly than would otherwise be the case.”
