The Opala Solution

Opala is a hosted Software as a Service (SAAS) solution. Opala deploys critical knowledge to support direct, dynamic care coordination. There is no unmediated consumer/patient/client use of Opala's service; instead, third-party applications who register with Opala can integrate Opala's APIs into their mobile solution(s) to deliver on-demand data to individual consumers/patients/clients. These individuals view Opala's data from within the registered third-party application that they have downloaded onto their mobile device.
Opala does not currently have any application offerings.
In 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published rules primarily designed to make healthcare information accessible, via an application programming interface (API), to individuals covered by a government healthcare program (e.g., Medicare Advantage). The CMS Interoperability and Patient Access final rule governs how these APIs are required to work.
The HL7® FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) specification defines how healthcare information can be exchanged between different computer systems regardless of how it is stored in those systems. It is designed to support providing healthcare in a wide variety of settings by enabling information exchange. FHIR is a standard for exchanging healthcare information electronically. The FHIR specification builds on and adapts widely used RESTful practices to enable integrated healthcare across a wide range of teams and organizations.
The intended scope of FHIR is broad: human and veterinary needs, public health, clinical care, clinical trials, and administration and financial aspects of healthcare. The standard is intended for use in a wide variety of architectures and scenarios.
The documentation for these APIs assumes that you are familiar with the HL7 FHIR Release 4 specification. If you are not, each endpoint topic in the documentation contains links to the referenced sections of the FHIR specification.
Opala's Developer Documentation Set enables you to access documentation for Opala's FHIR® APIs. Opala provides four seperate solutions you can use to access data.
Opala's APIs are based on the HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards and use the OAuth 2.0/Open ID connect standard for member authentication and authorization.
The uptime Service Level Agreement for Opala's production and test APIs is 99.9%, excluding scheduled downtime, measured monthly.
The average API call response time is no greater than five (5) seconds (i.e., no less than 50% of users should get a response time under five (5) seconds) measured daily, calculated and reported monthly to the customer, and also measured by the provider daily for its own information.
The average API end-to-end response time is no greater than five (5) seconds (i.e., no less than 90% of users should get an end-to-end response time under five (5) seconds) measured daily, calculated and reported monthly to the customer, and measured by the provider daily for its own information. API end-to-end response times measures shall exclude times from third-party systems other than those third-party services provided by the provider's subcontractors.
Opala provides documentation for both its Patient Access and Provider Directory APIs. Use the links below to access this documentation.
