FHIR data modeling
Medplum is FHIR-native. Medplum implementation models your clinical data as FHIR resources correctly, so the backend represents your domain accurately and interoperably.

Medplum Implementation Services
Medplum implementation is about standing up Medplum, the open-source, FHIR-native developer platform, as the backend for your healthcare application, including data modeling, workflows, authentication, and integrations. Medplum gives you a FHIR-native foundation to build clinical applications on, so implementation means configuring it well: modeling your data as FHIR, building automation, wiring auth, and connecting external systems. Taction Software implements Medplum as a compliant, production-ready backend, under a signed BAA. This page covers Medplum implementation specifically, distinct from data-aggregation platforms and interoperability networks. We are a healthcare-focused engineering team, founded in 2013, and every build runs under a signed BAA.

Why Medplum implementation needs specialist engineering
Medplum implementation matters because a FHIR-native backend is powerful but only useful when it is configured to your clinical workflows: data modeled as FHIR, automation built, auth wired, and integrations connected. Medplum provides FHIR storage, access controls, automation, and app building blocks, but standing it up as a production backend takes real FHIR and healthcare-engineering work, modeling resources correctly, building bots and workflows, configuring authentication and access, and integrating external systems. A weak implementation leaves the platform’s power unused or misconfigured. The right implementation models data well, builds workflows, configures auth, and connects integrations, all compliantly. A partner who knows Medplum and FHIR implements it to full effect. Below are the six areas that define strong Medplum implementation.
Workflow automation
Medplum supports automation. Implementation builds bots and workflow automation on the platform, so clinical and operational processes run automatically where appropriate.
Authentication and access control
Clinical apps need strong access control. Medplum implementation configures authentication and access control, so the right users and systems access the right data securely.
Application backend setup
Medplum is the app backend. Implementation stands it up as the production backend for your application, so your clinical features are built on a solid FHIR foundation.
External integrations
Apps rarely stand alone. Medplum implementation connects external systems, EHRs, labs, and networks, so the Medplum backend works within your wider ecosystem.
Compliant, reliable operation
The backend holds PHI. Implementation is built for reliability and runs under a signed BAA, with the security a clinical backend requires.
How Taction implements Medplum
Taction Software implements Medplum as a compliant, production-ready FHIR-native backend, because the platform’s power is only realized when it is modeled, automated, secured, and integrated well. We build FHIR data modeling, workflow automation, authentication and access control, application backend setup, and external integrations, all reliable under a signed BAA. Rather than a generic setup, we scope your application, clinical workflows, and Medplum’s capabilities first, then implement to fit. Most engagements start with a Discovery Sprint that maps the implementation, then move into a production-ready build. The result is a Medplum backend that powers your clinical application on a solid FHIR foundation.
01
FHIR data modeling
We model your clinical data as FHIR resources correctly, drawing on our FHIR API development work, so the backend represents your domain accurately.
02
Workflow automation
We build bots and workflow automation on the platform, so clinical and operational processes run automatically where appropriate.
03
Auth and access control
We configure authentication and access control so the right users and systems access the right data securely.
04
Backend setup
We stand up Medplum as the production backend for your application, so features are built on a solid FHIR foundation.
05
External integrations
We connect external systems, EHRs, labs, and networks, drawing on our EHR EMR integration services work, so Medplum works within your ecosystem.
06
Compliant operation
We build for reliability and run under a signed BAA, connecting to our HIPAA-compliant app development work.
Pricing for Medplum implementation engagements
Engagements follow the same fixed-price productized tiers we use across our healthcare implementation work, so cost and scope are clear before the build starts.
- Discovery Sprint: $45K, 4 weeks, implementation and data-model mapping
- Production-Ready build: $95K, Medplum backend for one application
- Pilot-Ready Sprint: $145K, implementation validated in production
- Enterprise deployment: $500K+, full Medplum backend across applications

Frequently asked questions
Medplum implementation is standing up Medplum, the open-source, FHIR-native developer platform, as the backend for your healthcare application. It includes modeling your data as FHIR resources, building workflow automation and bots, configuring authentication and access control, setting up the app backend, and connecting external integrations, so Medplum becomes a production-ready foundation your clinical application is built on.
Aggregation platforms like Health Gorilla, Metriport, and Zus focus on pulling in external patient data. Medplum is an application backend you build on, a FHIR-native platform providing storage, access control, automation, and app building blocks. Medplum implementation is about standing up that backend for your app, rather than aggregating external records, though Medplum can integrate with those sources too.
A FHIR-native backend like Medplum represents clinical data in a standard, interoperable model from the start, which simplifies integration, interoperability, and building clinical features. Because it is open source, it also avoids some vendor lock-in. Medplum implementation leverages this FHIR foundation so your application is built on standards-based clinical data rather than a proprietary schema.
Yes. Medplum supports automation through bots and workflows, so Medplum implementation can build automation for clinical and operational processes on the platform. This lets appropriate processes run automatically on the FHIR backend, which is one of the platform’s strengths, while keeping clinical decisions and oversight with the appropriate people.
Yes. The backend holds PHI, so implementation is built compliantly and runs under a signed BAA, with the authentication, access control, and security a clinical backend requires. Compliance is part of the implementation architecture rather than added later.
Yes. Most organizations start with a Discovery Sprint and a production-ready Medplum backend for one application, keeping early cost contained while proving the platform fits, then expand across applications once the first implementation is reliable in production.
