Last updated: 2026-10-29 Pharos exports a patient’s electronic health information (EHI) as FHIR JSON. This page explains how to get an export and what the file contains.

Single patient export

Tenant admins can download a patient’s record as FHIR JSON from the patient’s case in Spotlight. You can export a record whenever you need it, without contacting Pharos.

Population export

To export the records of all your patients, email support@pharos.health. Pharos runs the export for you and produces one file per case. Each file has the same format as a single patient export.

Format

Each file is one FHIR R4 Bundle of type collection, encoded as JSON (application/fhir+json).
  • The Bundle’s link has an entry with relation describedby that points to this page.
  • Each entry holds one resource. Resources are included unchanged, as Pharos stores them.
  • For each extension the resources use, the Bundle includes a StructureDefinition that defines it.
  • Every coding carries its system URI, so you can tell which code system each code comes from.

Resources

An export can contain these FHIR R4 resource types: Other FHIR R4 resource types may appear. Use each resource’s resourceType to identify it, rather than relying on this list. The export doesn’t include Pharos’s own output: abstraction questions and answers, calculated measure results, reviews and workflow data. That is quality-measure and workflow data, not part of the patient’s EHI.
