Bulk Data
summary
A new FHIR-based bulk export standard from SMART and HL7 defines a $export operation that runs async via respond-async header, returns a job URL to poll with Retry-After, and outputs ndjson files per resource type (multiple files allowed, one resource type per file). Security uses the SMART Backend Services OAuth public key flow to mint short-lived access tokens. Reference code and a public test server (configurable to simulate up to 1,000,000 patients) plus a BigQuery loader exist; spec targets pilots by September 2018.
