All smart on FHIR samples I've seen are about retrieving resources. Is there any to write a resource back to EHR? (Assuming permission to write is in the scopes.)
Grahame Grieve (Jan 16 2017 at 17:05):
yes and no. For the yes, see the FHIR spec for writing. But as yet, this is not supported in most EHR implementations

Cerner's FHIR server support writes on many resources. We have SMART apps today performing writes back to our EHR. You can see the details of what resources we support at http://fhir.cerner.com/dstu2/ - this is a living document and we are always documenting new resources & capabilites as we add them.

You can play around in our self-service public Sandbox with your SMART app to do both reads & writes at https://code.cerner.com/developer/smart-on-fhir

Would be nice to see support for writing the Diagnostic Orders. These tend to be less complex compared to med orders and a nice way to start exploring writing orders.

Hi Kevin, that's exactly what I'm trying to do, i.e., write MedicationStatement (just as an example) back to the Cerner test server. The problem is JavaScript tutorial on the SMART page lacks explaining write() API call.
