Shared Care Record – Connect

Home > Shared Care Record – Connect

Connect is a key component of the architecture. Originally known as the FHIR Appliance, Connect is a standards compliant server which, following data mapping procedures, converts existing data into FHIR resources. 

It provides this data to the Exchange to facilitate a 
shared care record. In short, Connect enables the transfer of data 
from providers into the Exchange.
