Set up ConnectEHR | Activate users for ConnectEHR
To meet the MIPS Promoting Interoperability measure, Provide Patients Electronic Access to Their Health Information, your practice must use our ONC Cures Edition FHIR API. To begin, you need to set up ConnectEHR for FHIR.
- Make sure to configure your FHIR APIs before your Promoting Interoperability reporting period begins. This ensures you receive the maximum possible points for the Provide Patients Electronic Access to Their Health Information measure.
- Complete the MIPS FHIR API Request form. An incomplete setup may affect your MIPS reporting.
- Once your setup is finished, you can use your ConnectEHR login credentials to access third-party provider apps.
