Onboard practices quickly with the new Developer Portal

We’re proud to introduce the new NexHealth Developer Portal for Synchronizer API users. The Portal simplifies the way you onboard practices that will sync with your app via the NexHealth Synchronizer.

API users now have the power to:

  • Instantly create new Institutions
  • Initiate Synchronizer installation
  • Request access to Institutions with an existing sync
  • And more!

"We love the new Developer Portal. We can get the Synchronizer installed, configured, and live in about 15 minutes, compared to a day or two with the legacy process." - Christian Farley, Integrations Lead, Swell

Active users with a production API key received an email invitation last week to create a Portal login.

Check out our new guide for more information on how to create Institutions and syncs, install the Synchronizer, add users, and more.

Beginning on February 15th, onboarding for all future Institutions and syncs will need to be done through the Portal.

We’ll keep you updated on new features and functionality coming to the Portal soon. We look forward to seeing how the Developer Portal accelerates your growth with practices and patients.

Synchronizer API product updates

The Synchronizer API now returns procedures from Dentrix, Dentrix Enterprise and Open Dental

You can now read Procedures from Dentrix, Dentrix Enterprise and Open Dental. Previously, you would use the appointment_descriptors endpoint to return procedure codes associated with specific appointments. Now, you can use the include\[]=procedures parameter on the appointments endpoint like in the following example:/appointments/{id}?include\[]=procedures.

Given that the procedure provides information on past and future treatments–including if a treatment is planned but not yet scheduled–and can inform anything from billing to follow-up treatment, we recommend using the procedures parameter for a more comprehensive read of the appointment.

We’re continuing to work on expanding support for procedures, so please let us know if you have feedback.

Faster appointment inserts for Eaglesoft practices

The Synchronizer now auto-refreshes the Eaglesoft view layer to improve appointment insertion speed. Short-notice appointments in the next day or week now load faster for practice staff.
