Question 1

How to implement SMART on FHIR authentication in Swift?

Accepted Answer

Swift-SMART simplifies this by providing a Client class with authorize() method and callback handling, as shown in the QuickStart example where you set up redirect URLs and intercept callbacks in the app delegate.

Question 2

Swift-SMART vs FHIRKit for iOS: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Swift-SMART is more focused on native Apple platform integration and SMART on FHIR auth, while FHIRKit might offer different features; choose Swift-SMART for its specific compliance with healthcare standards and Swift optimization, but compare based on your project's FHIR version needs and ecosystem.

Question 3

How to search for patient data using Swift-SMART?

Accepted Answer

Use the resource management methods like MedicationOrder.search() with parameters, as demonstrated in the QuickStart, which performs searches on the FHIR server and returns bundles for processing.

Question 4

Is Swift-SMART compatible with the latest FHIR version?

Accepted Answer

Check the version table in the README; for example, version 4.2 uses FHIR R4, but updates may lag, so verify compatibility with your EHR system's FHIR release to avoid integration issues.

Question 5

What are common authentication errors in Swift-SMART?

Accepted Answer

Errors often arise from misconfigured redirect URLs or client IDs; ensure your Info.plist registers the scheme correctly and that the app delegate handles callbacks, as outlined in the authorization flow documentation.

Question 6

How to install Swift-SMART using CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

It's available as the 'SMART' pod; add it to your Podfile, but note that setup might require additional steps like managing dependencies, and refer to the Installation page for detailed instructions.
