Modern EHRs support integration of external applications using application programming interfaces. We describe a practical application of these interfaces to facilitate deep phenotype capture in a discrete, structured format within a busy clinical workflow. Future versions will include a vendor-agnostic implementation using FHIR. We describe pilot efforts to integrate structured phenotyping through controlled dictionaries into diagnostic and research pipelines, reducing manual effort for phenotype documentation and reducing errors in data entry.
