After reviewing the internal EHR system at the customer and mapping the requirements to the backend systems, our App and Integration team provided the solution to meet the CMS mandate using the Microsoft Azure API for FHIR and Azure Logic Apps. VNB Consulting recommended integration with the EHR using the Azure Logic Apps and creation of a patient repository in Azure SQL to enable secure access to Patient Access API. The Azure Logic Apps-based data feed helped in synchronizing the required data for the Patient Access API and Provider Directory API from the EHR to the Azure API for FHIR. To ensure secure access, the team built a Azure Logic Apps based front APIs which retrieved the patient access and provider directory data from the Azure API for FHIR and enabled the customer to meet the CMS mandate seamlessly.

We followed the implementation guides for Claims and Encounter Data and Provider Directory Data and evaluated the solution against the same.
