Connect your clinical information system to the My Health Record system using our Business to Business (B2B) Gateway. These SOAP-based APIs allow you to build native functionality for the best possible user experience for your customers.
You will be visiting this page if you develop clinical information systems which are used by healthcare providers and you want your users to be able to view and/or upload information to the My Health Record system.
