2026.1 FHIR Highlight - Fine-grained SMART v2 Scopes (and a READY 26 session promotion...)

A very important feature for HL7 FHIR has been introduced with the release of v2026.1 - the support for SMART on FHIR v2 fine-grained granular Scopes.

This enables you to be much stricter and more accurate in the access you provide to the data in your FHIR repository.

Part of this new support is to refuse requests that don't match the scopes, but an even more interesting ability is to filter the results according to the provided scopes.

See this latest video that demonstrates some of this filtering (actually without focusing on the fine-grained part of the scopes).

If you are using FHIR this topic should be very important for you (to secure your endpoint, and to possibly adhere to local regulations), and if you'll be attending READY 2026 this coming week you should definitely join my session focusing and demoing this (Tuesday, 4:30pm):

I'll also be publishing an article on the community with more details and examples. Stay tuned.
