Setting Up ConnectEHR for FHIR

Starting with the 2023 MIPS Promoting Interoperability reporting period, in order to meet the 2023 Provide Patient Access Promoting Interoperability measure, your practice must implement our new ONC Cures Edition FHIR. To get started you need to set up the ConnectEHR for FHIR.

If you need to report for MIPS, you can set up your FHIR APIs in order to report. If you do not need to report for MIPS, it is not necessary for you to set up the FHIR APIs.

Have questions about your reporting status, check our article Check Your MIPS Participation Status.

The FHIR API's must be configured and set up prior to starting your Promoting Interoperability reporting period to earn the maximum number of points towards the Provide Patient Access measure.

Please read and complete the steps in the link below and complete this form in its entirety. Not completing this entire process may impact your MIPS reporting.
