Elation Health

Elation Health is a United States clinical-first electronic health record (EHR/EMR) and healthcare technology company, founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, serving independent primary care practices, value-based care organizations, digital health startups, and health-tech partners. Beyond its provider-facing EHR, Elation ships a broad, well-documented public REST API (v2.0) that lets partners read and write clinical and administrative data - patient profiles and demographics, allergies and problems, visit notes, clinical and lab/imaging orders, patient documents, scheduling, billing, insurance and eligibility, messaging, practice and user management, care gaps, and data import - authenticated with OAuth2. The API is documented on a ReadMe developer portal backed by machine-readable OpenAPI definitions, augmented with event subscription webhooks and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for agentic access. Elation also operates login-gated HL7 FHIR R4 and SMART-on-FHIR interoperability endpoints for ONC/CMS 21st Century Cures Act information-blocking compliance, exposed to registered applications rather than anonymously. Positioned as an independent challenger to the US EHR duopoly, Elation targets the primary-care and value-based-care segment of the largest, most commercial healthcare-API market.

Elation Health publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Elation OAuth API, Elation Patient Profile API, Elation Visit Notes API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Healthcare, United States, EHR, EMR, and FHIR.

The Elation Health catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Elation Health’s developer surface includes sandbox, changelog, authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 28 more developer resources.
