A comprehensive developer guide for launching medical web and mobile applications directly inside electronic health record (EHR) clinical interfaces.
SMART (Substitutable Medical Applications, Reusable Technologies) on FHIR defines how third-party medical applications authenticate and launch inside hospital EHR systems (such as Epic MyChart/Hyperspace and Oracle Cerner), enabling clinicians to use advanced SaMD tools without switching software contexts.
Step-by-step walkthrough of the SMART app launch flow: negotiating authorization codes, requesting patient context tokens, validating clinical scopes (patient/*.read, user/*.write), and retrieving clinical observation data via standard RESTful APIs.
Strategies for passing Epic Connection Hub, Oracle Cerner App Gallery, and Athenahealth marketplace security assessments, including penetration testing, code review, and clinical safety attestation.
