Health IT, EHR or patient portal purchasers and coordinators for hospitals, clinics, provider offices, or other facilities. They may be able to implement MedlinePlus Connect directly depending on their administrative rights in their EHR system. Otherwise, they can speak with their Health IT or EHR vendors.
NLM does not charge for use of MedlinePlus Connect. What does MedlinePlus Connect look like to the patient or provider? The Web service and Web application provide responses in different formats. The Web application returns a link to a formatted MedlinePlus Connect response page. This page will include links to information relevant to the problem/diagnosis, medication, or lab test. For a diagnosis/problem code, the response page will also highlight the MedlinePlus topics page(s) we have matched to that code, plus sample links to patient information.
The MedlinePlus Connect Web Service returns XML, JSON, or JSONP. If the organization implementing MedlinePlus Connect decides to use the Web service instead of the Web application, they may select which MedlinePlus links and information to provide from within the system instead of automatically linking to the standard MedlinePlus Connect response page.
