APIs for Developers
The Interoperability and Patient Access rule (CMS-0115-F) defines requirements for free and secure data flow that allows patients access to their health information. Working with our partners, Contra Costa Health has created service endpoints to meet these requirements through the Patient Access API and Provider Directory API described below.

Patient Access API
The Patient Access API is an HL7 FHIR-based API. To begin developing applications that leverage this API start by reviewing the CMS standards used to make the data available.
Contra Costa Health allows patients to access their clinical and claims data via industry standard FHIR APIs. A step by step guide to connecting with Contra Costa Health's Epic system via API is available here. open.epic :: Developer Resources
Provider Directory API
The Provider Directory API is publicly available and does not require application registration or authentication.
