SMART on FHIR is an open framework that enables secure, standardized data exchange between healthcare applications and electronic health record systems. Built on FHIR resources, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect, it solves interoperability challenges by allowing apps to access clinical data consistently across different platforms. The framework addresses fragmented healthcare data through semantic interoperability using standardized vocabularies like SNOMED CT and LOINC. Implementation requires certified vendors, validated data mappings, proper security audits, and alignment with ONC regulatory requirements. Organizations can leverage authentication platforms to handle the complexity of OAuth flows, consent management, and token handling.
