zapEHR

An open source platform offering developers and builders all the APIs and infrastructure necessary to create next generation health tech startups and EHRs. Build a custom EHR with confidence at a fraction of the cost. Our advantage, headless EHR Monolithic (Paleolithic) EHRs stifle innovation. They silo data. They kill integrations and interoperability. Clinicians and patients dislike them. And they are nearly impossible to improve. By design. zapEHR allows you to go custom with confidence at a fraction of the cost. We are a platform made for developers first. We provide the hosted infrastructure, data model, and APIs to power new products at any scale. Unsilo your data: Today’s EHRs are notorious data silos. Getting data out is hard, and programmatically getting data in is even harder. Integrations are often limited to HL7v2 feeds or daily SFTP file dumps. zapEHR provides simple APIs to read and write every attribute of every object in the model. You’ll always have the option to “build your own” or pipe your data out to any other system. Always compliant: To accept Medicare and Medicaid, your EHR must be certified ONC compliant. Understanding, implementing, maintaining, and keeping up with the ever-evolving compliance rules and certification process is expensive. No longer! Products built with zapEHR inherit ONC certification, so your infrastructure is compliant out of the box, at no additional cost. Of course we are HIPAA compliant as well. FHIR: The FHIR specification is a powerful interoperability tool helping disparate systems with proprietary data models talk to each other in a standardized format. To achieve its far-reaching goals in a consensus-driven process, the FHIR specification is slow to iterate and very complex. zapEHR provides a complete FHIR(R4) API for compliance and interoperability use-cases, but FHIR is overly complicated for rapid innovation. We provide a simpler and more powerful API. Releasing EHR functionality module by module, culminating in a fully production-ready open source EHR.
