FHIR External System

A FHIR external system connects Geoprism Registry to a FHIR server. Geoprism Registry stores both its own identifier and the external system's identifier for each object, so it can keep track of which records match in the two systems. External identifiers are set when you import data.

1. Go to the Settings page from the sidebar.

   
2. In the External Systems section, click the plus icon to open the External System form.

   
3. Select FHIR as the Type and fill out the form:
