Our API service is powered by EMR Direct’s Interoperability Engine v1.1.2 and implements the following FHIR API standards:
To access our API resources, your application should be capable of connecting to and retrieving data from our FHIR servers. If you are developing a client application that will query HL7 FHIR® data sources enabled by EMR Direct’s Interoperability Engine, please refer to the following resources for detailed information about the technical requirements:
We leverage EMR Direct’s Interoperability Engine Open API to power Zoobook EHR’s FHIR API capabilities. See the Interoperability Engine Terms Of Use.
If you already have such application, you will need to follow our registration process below:
1. Single Patient API Access
2. Multi-Patient API Access (Bulk Data)
You may also contact us at support@zoobooksystems.com if you have questions or need assistance regarding the registration.
Setting up an authorized API account with Zoobook allows you to connect to our API servers and retrieve all patient health information hosted by us that you are legally allowed to access. Zoobook charges base on the number of API request you will make in a day along with the size of data downloaded per request.
We offer downloads of anything less than 1 MB per transaction at no additional cost. Data amounting to more than 1 MB per request would incur additional charges. We charge based on rounding off to the next MB ceiling hence a 1.4 MB of download consumed by a request for instance would be charged as a 2 MB download.
You may contact us at support@zoobooksystems.com and we will assist in finding the best pricing for you.
The patient health information the API user requests to access would be subject to review to determine its legality and to confirm consent of all the relevant individuals involved.
Zoobook reserves the right to restrict access to specific sets of data if Zoobook deems that the API user does not possess the necessary rights to obtain the requested information.
The amount of data that can be retrieved is based on the resources mandated to be accesible by the ONC. For specific details on the USCDI Data Classes, US Core Profiles, FHIR Resources, and USCDI Data Elements that ought to be available from the API, see the following certification criteria links:
If legally accessible information is needed beyond the required data as stated above, you can contact us and we will work with you in building additional clinical data access points tailored to your specific needs.
As part of the CURES act mandate to avoid information blocking, we allow authorized API users to retrieve every legally accessible information they require with no restriction.
Once the API user is added to our authorized list, there is no additional step required when accessing the information outside the usual token authorization steps when connecting to our API server. We will disseminate such information over secure and encrypted channels using the FHIR® API infrastructure.
