Compliance & Security
OAuth authentication for healthcare
Healthcare applications need authentication that's secure, standards-based, and supports both provider and patient access patterns. OAuth 2.0 and SMART on FHIR are the modern standards — but implementation details matter.
Common challenges
What teams struggle with
Provider vs patient auth
Different authentication flows, identity sources, and access scopes for clinicians and patients.
Token lifecycle management
Access tokens, refresh tokens, and session management in clinical environments.
SMART launch context
Embedding apps in EHR workflows requires correct launch context and patient binding.
Multi-factor requirements
Healthcare systems increasingly require MFA for provider access.
