What Is SMART on FHIR?
SMART on FHIR (Substitutable Medical Applications, Reusable Technologies on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a healthcare application framework that enables apps to run securely inside EPRs while accessing data in real time via open standards.
SMART on FHIR apps typically:
- Launch within an EPR interface with single sign-on
- Access patient context automatically from the host EPR
- Read and write data using the HL7 FHIR standard
- Use OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for secure authorisation
- Comply with NHS and international interoperability standards
SMART on FHIR apps streamline workflows for clinicians, enable deeper insights into patient care, and support modular innovation without duplicating systems.
Our SMART on FHIR App Development Process
As an experienced SMART on FHIR App Development company, we guide clients through the full lifecycle — from standards alignment and architecture design to build, test, and deployment.
We begin with technical discovery to identify EPR integration targets (e.g. Oracle Health/Cerner, Epic, etc), user roles, and data needs. We work closely with your team to map how your application will interact with the host EPR, including which FHIR resources to query, what user context is required, and what workflows are triggered.
Our design team ensures your SMART on FHIR app delivers a seamless user experience within the EPR frame, following clinical UX best practices and accessibility standards. We develop secure, standards-compliant apps using the latest versions of FHIR (R4, R5) and SMART protocols.
We also support sandbox testing, EPR vendor approvals, and NHS interoperability assurance processes to get your app ready for real-world use within UK healthcare environments.
