EHR Association Comments to ONC on 2024 SVAP.pdf

HL7 FHIR® SMART Application Launch Framework v2.1.0

Please update the HL7 FHIR® SMART Application Launch Framework to v2.1.0 published April 28, 2023. There is an incompatibility in how SMART's "fhirContext" launch parameter is used in 2.0.0 vs 2.1.0. It would be best for all servers and clients to adopt the latest version before this incompatibility is deployed requiring servers/clients to support two formats.

Alternatively, we expect SMART v2.2.0 to be published in April/May 2024. This verson could also be considered.
