Note The agent uses public FHIR APIs to retrieve patient data in real time, including demographic data, clinical information such as prescriptions, lab results, health conditions, procedures, referrals, and care plans, and administrative data such as visit encounters and coverage from any certified EMR such as Epic, Oracle Cerner, and AthenaHealth. Data retrieval has been tested in the publicly available sandbox environments of these EMRs.

The agent leverages a pre-packaged [MuleSoft API](https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/exchange/org.mule.examples/generic-fhir-client-api/minor/1.2/console/method/%233963/) to interact with these FHIR endpoints. To enable the integration, provide the EMR-specific FHIR base URLs and credentials outlined on the [MuleSoft setup](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/org.mule.examples/generic-system-app/minor/1.3/pages/hb1-pmy/Setup/) page.
