After several months of preview as an Alpha product, we are pleased to announce that Medplum's Scheduling API has graduated to Beta.

Medplum's Scheduling API provides an interface for applications to atomically interact with Schedule, Slot, and Appointment resources to safely create and manage bookings without creating scheduling conflicts. Developing a feature like this required the ability to iterate as we learned, and our Alpha period provided exactly that.

There's a piece of conventional wisdom in health tech that won't die: FHIR is fine for interoperability, but too slow and bloated for real-time clinical apps.

The skepticism isn't unreasonable. FHIR resources can be verbose, real charts are messy, and clinical workflows don't forgive much. A physician who opens a chart and watches a spinner for five seconds has already been let down by the architecture.
