AccessFAILCredentials require partner registration, developer ToS, and Salesforce-portal onboarding; fees apply beyond the FHIR subset.
CoveragePOORFHIR covers the certified clinical subset; scheduling, billing, and operational data need separate proprietary APIs and approval.
AuthGOODOAuth 2.0 with OpenID Connect, both 2-legged and 3-legged flows, and a published smart-configuration endpoint.
Docs & DXGOODPublished developer guide, FHIR specifications, and an explicit API fee schedule; friction sits in partner onboarding, not docs.
StabilityMIXED
Supergood: Practice Fusion has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
