Surescripts Medication History for Populations FHIR API

Publicly documented HL7 FHIR Release 4 API for retrieving medication history panels and near-real-time Prescription Notifications for enrolled patient populations. Panels and notifications are pulled with a FHIR search of the Communication resource (GET /ext/v1/Communication) and returned as a Bundle of Patient, Organization, Practitioner, MedicationRequest, MedicationDispense, Medication, Condition and Communication resources, with CapabilityStatement and OperationOutcome available. Authentication is mutual TLS with a Surescripts-issued client certificate plus mandatory X-SENDER-UID and X-SENDER-UID-QUALIFIER headers. The guide templates the host as https://FQDN/ext/v1; the base URL recorded here is the host that appears throughout the provider's own published request/response examples, and a live TLS probe on 2026-08-15 confirmed it serves a Surescripts-issued certificate for that name.
