Overview
This how-to guide will show you how to connect to Epic's Sandbox using interopiO Data Adapters and Gateways.
Epic Test Sandboxes
Epic has published the addresses of their test sandboxes here:
https://open.epic.com/MyApps/Endpoints
For this guide, we will refer to these sandboxes as Epic's DSTU2, STU3, and R4 sandboxes with associated URL.
interopiO Data Adapter
To connect your application to these sandboxes, you will need to create an interopiO Data Adapter. Sign into your interopiO Console and select your desired environment. We recommend the following environments:
- Develop
- Test
- Demo
- Production
From your environment, create a new interopiO Data Adapter with the following values:
| Field | Value | Notes |
| Display Name | Epic Sandbox R4 | DSTU2, STU3, or R4 |
| Will this data adapter be used with PHI? | No | |
| Adapter Standard | FHIR R4 v4.0.1 | Select per Epic version |
| Data Source Type | Epic R4 | DSTU2 and R4 have Epic-specific types. STU3 should use the FHIR STU3 type. |
| Endpoint | [Epic URL] | Address of the Epic Sandbox from above |
| Patient Staging Data | de-select | Only needed if working on oncology applications |
| File Clinical Note | de-select | Only needed if saving PDF or binary to the patient chart as notes |
interopiO Gateway
Your application or service will connect to the Epic Sandbox using your interopiO Gateway. Create an interopiO Gateway for each sandbox system using the data adapter created in the previous step.
From your environment, create a new interopiO Gateway with the following values:
| Field | Value | Notes |
| Display Name | Epic Sandbox R4 | DSTU2, STU3, or R4 |
| Gateway Standard | FHIR R4 v4.0.1 | Matching your data adapter |
| Default data adapter | [your data adapter] |
Next Steps
You now can activate your application on your interopiO Gateway to Epic's Sandbox!
