The APIs wrap complex business logic by executing multiple tasks within a single API call. They aim to fulfill business use cases specific to the healthcare industry, such as enrolling patients into a care program or creating requests for prior authorizations. To use these APIs, you are not required to understand the underlying healthcare data model. Most of the APIs are RESTful APIs, but a few are also available through Apex classes and methods.
