Project Intro
The purpose of the Argonaut Project is to rapidly develop a first-generation FHIR-based API and Core Data Services specification to enable expanded information sharing for electronic health records and other health information technology based on Internet standards and architectural patterns and styles. This effort follows on recommendations from the Joint HIT Standards and Policy Committee's JASON Task Force Report, the HIT Standards Committee’s Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN) Power Team, the MITRE JASON Reports of 2013 and 2014, and the 2010 PCAST Report. Additional information, including links to the Argonaut Implementation Guides, is available on the Argonaut Project website.
