Introduction to ZorgAPIs

Effective Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) achieve interoperability and are therefore of strategic importance for an Integrated Health Information System. That is why Nictiz, in consultation with the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport and stakeholders, has developed an API strategy for Dutch healthcare. This strategy focuses on the development of APIs towards fully standardized data exchanges. The API Library promotes the findability of APIs that meet the requirements at a particular level of standardization.
