Elation Health
Elation Health is a United States clinical-first electronic health record (EHR/EMR) and healthcare technology company, founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, serving independent primary care practices, value-based care organizations, digital health startups, and health-tech partners. Beyond its provider-facing EHR, Elation ships a broad, well-documented public REST API (v2.0) that lets partners read and write clinical and administrative data - patient profiles and demographics, allergies and problems, visit notes, clinical and lab/imaging orders, patient documents, scheduling, billing, insurance and eligibility, messaging, practice and user management, care gaps, and data import - authenticated with OAuth2. The API is documented on a ReadMe developer portal backed by machine-readable OpenAPI definitions, augmented with event subscription webhooks and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for agentic access. Elation also operates login-gated HL7 FHIR R4 and SMART-on-FHIR interoperability endpoints for ONC/CMS 21st Century Cures Act information-blocking compliance, exposed to registered applications rather than anonymously. Positioned as an independent challenger to the US EHR duopoly, Elation targets the primary-care and value-based-care segment of the largest, most commercial healthcare-API market.
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles Elation Health the way a machine reads it — 22 machine-readable artifacts across 16 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Elation Health scores 60.8/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 75/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Elation Health
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Elation Health. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 16
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

MCP Servers 1
Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

MCP SERVEREvent Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

ASYNCAPISecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
