The headline this month: **Medplum earned the [2026 FHIRplace Participant emblem](/content/blog/fhirplace-participant-2026/index.html)** from Drummond Group for electronic prior authorization testing, ahead of the January 2027 enforcement date. July was another heavy shipping month — 206 commits from 28 contributors and five patch releases, v5.1.23 through v5.1.27.

On the revenue cycle side, real-time [insurance eligibility checks](/content/docs/billing/insurance-eligibility-checks/index.html) arrived as a FHIR operation of their own, and `Claim/$submit` learned to route preauthorization requests to their own processor. Elsewhere, [server-scoped subscriptions](/content/docs/subscriptions/server-scoped-subscriptions/index.html) give project-per-tenant deployments one central data-processing flow, a concentrated round of authentication hardening tightened JWT validation, outbound fetch, and MFA, and the [Decision Guides](/content/docs/decision-guides/index.html) are now published natively in the docs. A first DICOMweb implementation also landed in [Alpha](/content/docs/compliance/alpha-beta/index.html) for teams beginning to work with imaging.

All of this continues to drive forward our [2026 roadmap priorities](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html).

The headline this month: **Medplum achieved [HITRUST certification](/content/blog/hitrust-e1-certification/index.html)**, a validation of our security and compliance program. June was also another busy month of shipping, with 200+ commits from 25+ contributors and nine patch releases — v5.1.14 through v5.1.22.

[Scheduling](/content/docs/scheduling/index.html) saw a lot of activity. The [Provider App](https://provider.medplum.com/) gained a reusable inbox shell, and operation-based claim submission. SMART Health Cards and Links arrived with a QR code scanner, the Enterprise data warehouse export was released, and the AI workspace added configurable model routing. The platform also gained email-based [multi-factor authentication](/content/docs/auth/mfa/index.html), enforceable per project.

All of this continues to drive forward our [2026 roadmap priorities](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html).

May was a heavy month for Medplum, with 100+ commits from 20+ contributors and four patch releases — v5.1.10 through v5.1.13. [Scheduling](/content/docs/scheduling/index.html) was the headline: the full appointment operation suite — `$find`, `$hold`, `$book`, `$confirm`, and `$cancel` — landed in Alpha. The [Provider App](https://provider.medplum.com/) also gained medication ordering components, order set import, and operation-based claim submission. On the enterprise side, a new data warehouse export features were enabled, and the platform team shipped passwordless magic-link login, AWS GuardDuty malware protection, and a round of OAuth2 spec-compliance fixes. All of this continues to drive forward our [2026 roadmap priorities](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html).

Medplum stayed active this April, with 130+ commits from 20+ contributors amounting to three patch releases — v5.1.7, v5.1.8, and v5.1.9. The Provider app's billing and coverage workflows took a major step forward with integrated claim submission and live eligibility visibility. [Scheduling](/content/docs/scheduling/index.html) added support for service line configurations on `HealthcareService`, aligning with R5/R6 FHIR conventions. Spaces, an AI-powered chat workspace inside the Provider App, now surfaces tool calls and responses directly in the chat so you can see exactly what the AI is doing. Clinical documentation expanded across intake, care plans, diagnostics, authentication, and integrations. All of this continues to drive forward our [2026 roadmap priorities](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html).

March was yet another busy month for Medplum. Three patch releases — v5.1.2, v5.1.3, and v5.1.4 — arrived alongside over 100 commits from 20+ contributors, and the work underneath the surface was just as significant as the new features. Spaces gained richer AI tooling. The [communications documentation](/content/docs/communications/index.html) received a full suite of guides covering everything from the data model to automations. Worker infrastructure got a substantial rethink, and [WebSocket subscriptions](/content/docs/subscriptions/index.html) were hardened across the board. All of it continues to advance our [2026 roadmap priorities](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html).

February was a productive month for Medplum. We shipped four releases — v5.0.14, v5.0.15, v5.1.0, and v5.1.1, including a minor version bump reflecting the depth of new capabilities — with over 130 commits from 25+ contributors. The biggest themes this month were **WebSocket subscription stability and performance improvements**, **AI-powered provider experiences**, **scheduling refinements**, and **revenue cycle tooling** — all advancing our [2026 roadmap priorities](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html).

January was a packed month for Medplum. We shipped three patch releases (v5.0.11, v5.0.12, v5.0.13), published the [2026 Roadmap](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html), and landed over 100 commits from 20+ contributors. The biggest themes this month were **scheduling**, **the Provider app**, and **site reliability** — all directly advancing our [2026 roadmap priorities](/content/blog/2026-roadmap/index.html).
