Stream: smart
Topic: How SMART actually works?
Shreyansh Mehta (Sep 17 2020 at 14:17):
So I am a software developer and don't have any exposure in the health sector, just trying to make my way here. In that same context, I have read what SMART is from their website but to be honest its not helpful for someone like me. I really want to understand how it works, and how can I implement it and in what way it helps. Can anyone here help me out, please?

It is a way to authorize access to FHIR end points - just flavor of OAuth2

There are a lot of recorded tutorials on most aspects of FHIR - including technologies like SMART. My usual starting point for drilling into a new FHIR-related technology is to do a web search for "FHIR DevDays Videos", possibly qualified by the technology of interest. They're relatively short and a good way to dive in. Then I read through the spec and play with the public sand boxes. If I have more questions after that, I find the stream here that deals with that particular technology (or ask on #implementers if it's not obvious) and first search for answers and, if I don't find any, ask the question.

@Lloyd McKenzie seems like I upset you, I hope not.
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 17 2020 at 14:54):
Absolutely not upset - trying to provide a helpful pathway to approaching new content in FHIR.

@Shreyansh Mehta , with website did you mean http://hl7.org/fhir/smart-app-launch/ or https://smarthealthit.org or a different one?

If I can humbly point to some sessions I helped with at DevDays last year, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0PXAxBA-J8 has an overview video that you might find useful (and I'd welcome your feedback).
Shreyansh Mehta (Sep 18 2020 at 04:25):
Hi @Pascal Pfiffner I meant the https://smarthealthit.org/ but thanks for letting me know of FHIR one...will check that out as well....!! And also @Josh Mandel thanks will definitely check the video.

http://docs.smarthealthit.org/ is the best place to start for developer docs, too (in case you didn't find it from smarthealthit.org)
