Headless EHR

Headless EHRs are API-centric products that provide patient data management and other provider workflow APIs without necessarily providing a traditional frontend interface. They enable other applications to interact with EHR functionalities through APIs, allowing for more flexible, customized user experiences and integration with various healthcare systems. This architecture supports innovation and adaptability in digital health applications, but can require provider organizations to invest more resources in building out their own EHR frontend. Some of the products in this category are entirely headless, while others offer both a full-featured API, as well as their own frontend.
