Interoperability Developer Solutions

AdvancedMD supports a variety of interoperability solutions to help  third-party developers and our clients build custom applications and connect mission-critical systems to the AdvancedMD platform.

Connect APIs (Partner APIs)

AdvancedMD offers a comprehensive set of proprietary APIs, known as the Connect APIs, that allow developers to build applications that replicate nearly all functionality available within the AdvancedMD user interface.

These APIs are available in both XML-RPC and REST formats.

Common Use Cases

  • Patient engagement applications

  • Appointment scheduling

  • Custom clinical forms

  • Patient payment and responsibility tools

  • Revenue cycle management (RCM)

  • Clinical decision support

  • Many other real-time workflow integrations

Access Requirements

  • Developers must sign a Certified API Developer Agreement, which includes associated licensing and support fees.

  • Upon execution of the agreement, developers are granted access to full API documentation and a sandbox environment to begin building and testing their integrations.

  • After a successful demonstration of the integration with our Interoperability (InterOps) team, the developer will receive production credentials, including a unique appname, for use in the live environment.

Our API Development Philosophy

AdvancedMD is an API-first company. As we develop new features and enhancements within our core platform, we simultaneously publish and maintain corresponding APIs. This ensures that our developer community always has access to the latest capabilities and can extend the platform in real-time.

Recommended For

Developers seeking real-time, transactional access to AdvancedMD data, where data exchange needs to happen as users interact with the platform—rather than in large, infrequent batches.

ODBC Access for Bulk Data

For developers and organizations that need to pull down large volumes of data—such as for building data warehouses, running advanced analytics, or meeting unique regulatory reporting requirements—get access via a custom ODBC driver.

How it Works

  • Developers can use SQL queries via ODBC to extract client data directly from AdvancedMD systems.

  • The driver includes a library of prebuilt SQL scripts to perform initial full-data extractions and subsequent delta loads to maintain up-to-date backups.

Recommended Organizations

  • Organizations familiar with SQL databases and DBA best practices

  • Use cases requiring offline access to client data or custom reporting environments

  • Developers with infrastructure capable of securely storing and maintaining large data sets

FHIR APIs (Regulatory APIs)

In alignment with U.S. federal healthcare IT regulations, AdvancedMD supports FHIR R4-based APIs as part of its Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT) status.

Regulatory Background

  • In 2020, the ONC Cures Act Final Rule introduced requirements for standardized APIs under 45 CFR § 170.315(g)(10).

  • These APIs must follow HL7® FHIR® Specification Release 4 and expose data defined in the US Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) standard.

  • The purpose is to enable secure and standardized access to clinical information by patients and third-party applications.

Notes on FHIR

  • Our FHIR APIs are read-only, supporting only GET requests, in accordance with (g)(10) regulations.

  • Access is granted via SMART on FHIR OAuth 2.0 authorization flows, enabling patient-facing and provider-facing apps.

  • These APIs are ideal for apps that allow patients or providers to view and interact with clinical data, including medication lists, allergies, vitals, and more.

Note: If your application requires full create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) functionality,
you will need to use the Connect APIs rather than FHIR.

Orders & Results Interfaces
(Labs, Imaging, etc.)

AdvancedMD supports electronic orders and results delivery for most major laboratories and radiology providers in the U.S.

Integration Model:

Rather than building one-off integrations with individual labs or imaging centers, AdvancedMD works through trusted integration partners who maintain and support hundreds of interfaces on our behalf.

If your organization is a lab, radiology center, or diagnostic service looking to integrate with AdvancedMD, we recommend reaching out to one of the following partners:

HL7 2.x Messaging

AdvancedMD does not directly support custom HL7 2.x messaging interfaces for external developers. However, integration partners can assist in translating HL7 messages to and from our supported APIs, allowing for seamless bidirectional communication.

For HL7 2.x integrations, we recommend contacting one of our preferred partners:
