Learning EHR Launch and Application Development using Cerner's FHIR API
Setup EHR Launch from Cerner | Build 5 FHIR Applications
Medblocks conducted a simulation of setting up and building five FHIR applications using a Cerner EHR environment.
Summary
This article outlines a learning approach to simulate Electronic Health Record (EHR) setup and utilization within the Cerner environment using SMART on FHIR. Participants aim to develop five applications, mastering concepts like OAuth2 flows and FHIR API specifications.

Details
This content introduces a structured learning program designed to simulate the implementation and use of an EHR system based on the SMART on FHIR standard within the Cerner ecosystem. Key technical components covered include understanding the OAuth2 flow and generating launch tokens using `iss` and `launch` parameters. Participants are guided through practical exercises, such as using Postman to acquire offline access permissions and refresh tokens for synchronization. The curriculum is structured over 10 weeks with the goal of building five diverse applications, ensuring comprehensive mastery of FHIR standards. The modules include developing a Patient Management Application, SMART Practitioner Apps for both Epic and Cerner, a SMART Backend Application on Epic, and implementing a FHIR Facade on Postgres. This approach is valuable because it moves beyond theoretical knowledge, covering practical challenges essential in real-world clinical settings, such as system interoperability and managing data access permissions. It equips participants with comprehensive development skills based on the latest healthcare IT standards.
