As we close out 2022, the Medplum team would love to thank our customers and community for joining us on this journey.

Composability is the ability of different components or systems to be combined and work together seamlessly. This allows developers to build on existing open source software to create new applications and solutions that meet their specific needs.

What is ONC Certification?​

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) certification is a program that ensures that electronic health records (EHRs) meet certain standards for interoperability and security. It is designed to help healthcare providers adopt and use EHRs more effectively, and to promote the widespread adoption of EHRs as a means of improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare. To be certified, an EHR must meet a set of standards and criteria that have been developed by the ONC in collaboration with other organizations and stakeholders in the healthcare industry. These standards cover a range of areas, including the exchange of health information(g10), patient access to their own health data (also g10), and the protection of sensitive health information(d1,d13,g12). By achieving ONC certification, EHRs can demonstrate that they meet these standards and are ready for use in a wide variety of healthcare settings.

Medplum is a YC Company​

Hello from Medplum!

Medplum is an API-first Electronic Health Record - that’s open source, and today we are announcing that we are part of the YC S22 batch.

When working with customers to set up their apps and workflow we commonly get this request:

We need to track this extra data, but there is no field for it in the FHIR object. What should we do?

We at Medplum are pleased to share the news that we have recently completed our System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type I audit.

At Medplum we know that customizable forms are critical for any healthcare app. Is it even a healthcare app without tons of forms?

Synthetic FHIR data is increasingly popular for people who are building healthcare apps. It's useful for testing, prototyping, partnerships, sales and more. In the implementations we see here at Medplum, more than half use synthetic data in some form or another!

You can use Medplum as a tool to help you learn FHIR quickly.

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) specification is a data standard for healthcare that defines how information can be exchanged between systems. (Read more about what FHIR is and it's philosophy and history here)

Developer infrastructure and tools for healthcare apps​

Healthcare applications are famous for being complex, rigid and hideous, and we on the Medplum team have seen many up close and witnessed the problems firsthand. It's easy to dismiss the hideous phenomenon as lazy app developers or poor product management, but in reality, it's not that straightforward.
