Details
The latest release of the Aidbox FHIR Server introduces several significant enhancements. A key addition is the MCP (Module Connector Platform) module, which allows connecting popular AI tools like Claude and Cursor to the FHIR server using standardized endpoints. Subscription flexibility has been improved by allowing the use of `resolve()` in `fhirPathCriteria` for filtering based on linked resources, such as specific patient encounters. For automation, 'AidboxTrigger' enables automatic SQL execution when FHIR resources change, allowing users to enforce business rules without external middleware. User interface improvements include breadcrumbs and dedicated resource pages, and clearer visibility of requested permissions (scopes) during SMART app authorization. The form capabilities are enhanced with template-based extraction from QuestionnaireResponse to FHIR, and the FHIRPath Expression Editor now supports patient pre-filling (name, gender, DOB). Users should note that support for zen/Entity-Attribute engines will cease in August 2025, requiring legacy users to check their setups.
