Overview

If you've found yourself on this page, it's because you're interested in building software that interfaces with Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc and helps all our customers get their data in the system. Thank you.

Please read our Application Programming Interface (API) Terms of Use carefully and let us know if you have any questions.

Scope

By accessing or using Praxis EMR - Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc APIs and other services (collectively, Data APIs), you are agreeing to the terms below.

Data Rights and Usage

Accounts/Registration

If you are using the Data APIs on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity (and all references to "you" in the Terms refer to you and that entity).

In order to access the Data APIs you may be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the Data APIs, or as part of your continued use of the Data APIs. Any registration information you give to Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc must be accurate and up to date and you must inform Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc promptly of any updates so that we can keep you informed of any changes to the Data APIs or the Terms which may impact your usage of the Data APIs.

Credentials (such as passwords, keys, tokens, and client IDs) issued to you by Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc for Data at the Point of Care are intended to be used only by you and to identify any software which you are using with the Data APIs. You agree to keep your credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other persons or entities from accessing or using your credentials. Credentials may not be embedded in open source projects.

You may only access (or attempt to access) the Data APIs by the means described in the documentation of the Data APIs. If CMS assigns you credentials, you must use them with the applicable Data APIs. Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc may revoke your credentials if you use or attempt to use them with another application that has not been reviewed and approved by Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc.

If you are granted production application credentials for the Data APIs, you may only use those credentials with the application that passed the production access review process. Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc may revoke your production application credentials if you use or attempt to use them with another application or product that has not been reviewed and approved by Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc.

Activities and Purposes

You may use the Data APIs to develop a service to notify, search, display, analyze, retrieve, view, and otherwise obtain certain information or data about Praxis EMR - Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc end users or synthetic data from Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc, specifically: Part A, Part B, and Part D beneficiary claims information, such as providers seen, diagnoses, medications, and procedures.

Privacy

Information or data about Praxis EMR - Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc beneficiaries from Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc available from the Data APIs is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996(HIPAA), and other laws, and require special safeguarding. You must comply with all applicable federal and state laws regarding the protection and disclosure of information obtained through the Data APIs.

Data can only be requested through the Data API by a HIPAA covered entity, or a business associate on behalf of a covered entity, as those terms are defined in 45 CFR § 160.103, provided that the covered entity or business associate attests that the request is for purposes of treatment as defined in 45 CFR § 164.501 for each individual for which data is requested. Once a patient roster record expires, at 90 days for a standard roster or 2 days for emergency room visit rosters, based on the reason for the request, you will be responsible for attesting on each roster addition and renewal that the request is for the purpose of the individual added to the roster and that you still have a valid treatment reason as defined by HIPAA for the specific individual before you will receive any updated information for the individual.

You further acknowledge that when records regarding an individual are obtained through a Data API, you may not disclose any information or data regarding the individual to any other individuals or third parties without specific, explicit consent from the individual or his or her authorized representative. The terms "individual" and "record" have the meanings given in the Privacy Act at 5 U.S.C. § 552a(a).

Attribution

When using content, data, documentation, code, and related materials associated with the Data APIs in your own work, proper credit must be given. All services that utilize or access the Data APIs must display the following notice prominently within the application:

"This product uses the Data APIs but is not endorsed or certified by Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc."

You may use Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc's name or logo in order to identify the source of API content subject to these Terms. You may not use the Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc name, logo, or the like to imply endorsement of any product, service, or entity, not-for-profit, commercial or otherwise.

Service Management

The clearinghouse will not disclose information to anyone other than the Praxis EMR - Infor-Med Medical Information Systems Inc provider.
