Does that argue for a two-part design like:
1. APIs for scheduling, billing, lab tests, etc. These are standardized across all health systems.
2. "Workflow" code for a particular health system. This is custom.
- nradov 2y agoThere are already standard APIs defined for all of your item 1 from HL7 and ASC X12. Some of them are messaging APIs rather than HTTP/REST/JSON APIs so they can be a bit daunting to new developers. Most modern EHRs support those APIs but it can still be a huge amount of work to build interfaces to other organizations.
