Sidharth Ramesh hosts a YouTube Channel where he reviews FHIR development and deployment approaches. In this video he reviews an approach where a developer can have rapid deployment to many epic instances of an app they create, through automatic client ID distribution.
In short, applications that are created through Epic on FHIR, only use USCDI v3, only reads data, does not use refresh tokens (or uses refresh tokens and has a client secret uploaded by a community member), and is patient facing, will automatically deploy to sites on a modern Epic instance, have not disabled auto download capability, and have signed the open.epic API subscription agreement.
The devil is in the details (like the degree to which hospitals nationally are on a newer Epic instance and receive auto downloads), but this strikes me as a step change improvement for vendors to achieve Epic integration for certain kinds of apps.
