# EHR Patient Access APIs Through Flexpa

Flexpa connects apps to supported electronic health record (EHR) systems through patient authorization. A user selects a supported facility and signs in to its patient portal through Flexpa Consent. Your app then retrieves available FHIR records through the Flexpa API.

How it works: Supported facility -> Portal authorization -> Available FHIR records. EHR records depend on the facility the patient authorizes.

## What comes back

- US Core resources such as Condition, Observation, MedicationRequest, AllergyIntolerance, Immunization, Procedure, Encounter, and DocumentReference.
- CDA documents where the source provides them.

## Good to know

For a child's records, the parent or guardian needs proxy access enabled by the facility before connecting. Each child requires a separate Flexpa authorization, and availability depends on the facility's proxy rules.

## Questions

**How do I connect an app to EHR patient data?** Use Flexpa Consent to let a user select a supported facility and authorize access through its patient portal. Your app can then query available records with a patient access token through the Flexpa FHIR API.

**Which clinical records can Flexpa return?** Depending on the connected source, Flexpa can return FHIR resources for conditions, observations, medications, allergies, immunizations, procedures, encounters, and documents. Availability varies by facility.
