• Enabled: Check to enable 2-way communication from this customer database.

FHIR

FHIR is an older alternative to our API. It's designed for interfacing with certain medical software, but is not otherwise useful. The latest version is FHIR Version 19.4, also known as our FHIR Version 2. This version remains compatible with all future versions of Royal dental Software. Development has essentially stopped working on this interface, although we do continue to maintain it and have no plans to remove it.
