GlaceEMR has certified FHIR R4 APIs but no public developer program.
Frequently asked questions
GlaceEMR scores D on Supergood's API Report Card. Limited, GlaceEMR has certified FHIR R4 APIs but no public developer program.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
GlaceEMR is a cloud (optionally on-prem) ONC-certified EHR from Glenwood Systems, LLC, a privately held vendor founded in 1998 in Waterbury, Connecticut (https://www.glaceemr.com, https://glenwoodsystems.com/glaceemr/).
Healthcare, independent ambulatory practices in the US (solo to ~20 providers, multi-location), 35+ specialty modules spanning primary care, cardiology, pediatrics, behavioral health, pulmonology, SNF/long-term care; strongest footprint in CT, NY, MA, OH, FL, TX; often bought together with Glenwood's outsourced RCM service. Front desk staff schedule across providers/locations, check patients in via kiosk or portal, verify eligibility and collect copays.
A small, regional-scale vendor: the product site cites "hundreds of satisfied clients" and the contact page "thousands of providers," with no published practice count.
Yes.
Glenwood Systems was founded in 1998 (28 years old); the certified product is still "GlaceEMR 6.0," whose legacy login page at https://asp.glaceemr.com/ shows "Release Date 12/01/2017," and the older docs site (https://docs.glaceemr.com/Glenwood/transparencydisclosure.html) carries a 1998-2023 copyright.
Vendor's own 2024 Real World Testing shows the standardized FHIR (g)(10) API returned 401 Unauthorized on 58.1% of calls and succeeded only 36.5% of the time, on just 50 queries for the year. Vendor states API documentation is "available at request" and developer registration requires emailing the company; no self-serve portal. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include athenahealth (athenaOne), eClinicalWorks, Tebra (Kareo), AdvancedMD, RXNT. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official GlaceEMR MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. GlaceEMR doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
