| − | SMART stands for Sustainable Medical Applications, Reusable Technologies. <ref name="SMART">What is SMART. Accessed 7/30/2015. http://smarthealthit.org/about//></ref> SMART is an API—an application programming interface that leverages the emerging FHIR standards to define health data resources, REST to access them, and oAUTH for authentication. This platform allows developers to write an app once and have it run on any vendors EHR without custom programming or development. It was created in a collaboration between the US government and teams from Boston Children’s Hospital Computational Health Informatics Program and the Harvard Medical School Department for Biomedical Informatics.

| − | The rapidly changing and complex health care landscape requires short cycle, nimble innovation of novel solutions to health care challenges. Vendor developed EHR’s, with their long development cycles and unwieldy proprietary platforms , do not allow for the rapid development and deployment of useful, malleable and swappable applications to meet regional and national needs in a time frame that is responsive enough to meet the public good or private imperatives. Use of SMART programming is particularly useful to address [[public health]] imperatives like the recent ebola crisis. <ref name="Mandl">Mandl KD.
