Native App Requirements for Validation

[Chris Penny]

Are there any special requirements for a native iOS or Android FHIR app to be validated by Cerner? I am making an app that will only be talking to my own HIPAA-compliant servers (aside from the FHIR server), and I am hoping to deploy it as a patient-facing iOS or Android app on bedside tablets. Does Cerner provide a specific type of tablet to be used for bedside applications? Or is it the responsibility of the Hospital itself to manage tablets?

I am also planning on making an MPages app, but I am specifically asking whether there are standard systems for deploying patient-facing tablets, and what are the requirements for native apps on such a system?

Thanks!

Hi, Chris!

We do not have any special requirements for device type or device OS for native mobile apps.  Device management is handled by clients, so you will likely need to have a plan for both iOs and Android.
