What is Quest Diagnostics?
Quest Diagnostics is a healthcare diagnostics provider. This Konnectify connector targets the Quest Quanum EHR FHIR API to read clinical resources (GET-only) like patients, conditions, medications, and lab results.
Integrate Quest Diagnostics with Konnectify to standardize healthcare data access across systems, build compliance-friendly reporting, and power downstream workflows without custom code.
What you can automate
• Look up a patient record by ID
• Pull condition/problem lists for care reviews
• Retrieve lab results for analytics pipelines
• Sync medication statements for reconciliation
• Export vital signs and immunizations for reporting
• Read documents/clinical notes via DocumentReference
Tip: Pair these read actions with Konnectify’s connectors (e.g., data warehouses, CRM, ticketing) to route or store retrieved FHIR data.
API & authentication
Authentication: OAuth 2.0 authorization
Konnectify connects using OAuth 2.0. During setup you’ll be redirected to Quest’s authorization page to grant access, and Konnectify exchanges the authorization code for tokens securely. Your client credentials are used to initiate the flow; Konnectify does not expose your secrets in workflow steps.
Scopes & access
- openid, profile (identity)
- offline_access (refresh tokens where supported)
- patient/*.read (read patient-scoped resources)
- user/*.read (read user-scoped resources)
Connector capabilities
- GET-only reads (no create/update/delete)
- FHIR-style list endpoints with query parameters (where supported)
- Read common clinical domains: labs, vitals, meds, allergies, immunizations
- Designed for reporting, reconciliation, and downstream routing
Important: Beta, rate limits & access policies
API access, available resources, and rate limits are governed by your Quest/Quanum environment and agreement. If you see intermittent 429 responses or timeouts, reduce call volume, add retries with backoff, and paginate list requests.
How to connect
Prerequisites
- A Quest/Quanum EHR FHIR API-enabled environment
- An OAuth client with a Client ID and Client Secret
- Redirect URI allowlisted in your OAuth client settings (provided by Konnectify during connection)
- Permission to access the required FHIR scopes/resources
Add Quest Diagnostics to a Workflow
- In Konnectify, create a new Workflow (or open an existing one).
- Click Add step and choose Quest Diagnostics.
Authorize via OAuth 2.0
- Click Connect.
- Enter your Client ID and Client Secret.
- Complete the authorization in the Quest/Quanum login/consent screen.
Configure the Action
- Select the read you need (for example, Find Patient or List Lab Results).
- Provide required identifiers (such as a resource id) and optional filters where available.
Warning: This connector is GET-only. If your use case requires writing back to an EHR (create/update), use a different connector or add a downstream system-of-record step.
Test the Workflow
- Run a test with a known resource ID (or a narrow list query).
- Confirm the returned payload matches your expected FHIR resource shape.
Activate the Workflow
- Turn on the Workflow.
- Monitor initial runs for rate limit responses and adjust schedule/volume as needed.
Triggers 0
This connector currently has no triggers. Use Konnectify triggers from other apps (or schedule-based workflows) to run Quest read actions on demand.
Actions 29
Actions are organized by clinical module (FHIR resource type). All actions are read-only (GET).
Patients 2 actions

List PatientsLists Patient resources with GET /Patient and supported query parameters.
Conditions 2 actions
Find ConditionReads a Condition resource using GET /Condition/{id}.
List ConditionsLists Condition resources with GET /Condition.
Smoking Statuses 2 actions
Find Smoking StatusReads a SmokingStatus resource using GET /SmokingStatus/{id}.
List Smoking StatusesLists SmokingStatus resources with GET /SmokingStatus.
Medication Statements 2 actions
Find Medication StatementReads a MedicationStatement resource using GET /MedicationStatement/{id}.
List Medication StatementsLists MedicationStatement resources with GET /MedicationStatement.
Allergy Intolerances 2 actions
Find Allergy IntoleranceReads an AllergyIntolerance resource with GET /AllergyIntolerance/{id}.
List Allergy IntolerancesLists AllergyIntolerance resources using GET /AllergyIntolerance.

List Care TeamsLists CareTeam resources using GET /CareTeam.
Note: This module includes list-only in this connector version.
Health Concerns 2 actions
Find Health ConcernReads a HealthConcerns resource with GET /HealthConcerns/{id}.
List Health ConcernsLists HealthConcerns resources with GET /HealthConcerns.

Tip: DocumentReference often returns metadata plus links/attachments. Ensure downstream steps handle protected health information (PHI) appropriately.
Popular automations
Since this connector is read-only and has no native triggers, these examples assume you start the workflow from another app trigger (or a schedule) and then call Quest Diagnostics actions.
Nightly patient snapshot for reporting
On a schedule, pull a filtered patient list and store it in your analytics destination (warehouse/BI). Add pagination downstream as needed.
Scheduled (Konnectify) → List Patients
Care review: conditions + meds for a given patient
When a care coordinator selects a patient in another system, retrieve their condition list and medication statements to support reconciliation or review.
Manual/External Trigger → List Conditions → List Medication Statements
Lab result retrieval for downstream alerts
When a case is opened in your ticketing/CRM system, pull relevant lab results and attach them to the case for faster triage.
New Case (External App) → List Lab Results → Find Document Reference
Preventive care reporting (immunizations + vitals)
On demand, retrieve immunization history and vital signs to power dashboards or quality measure calculations.
Scheduled (Konnectify) → List Immunizations → List Vital Signs
FAQ
How does authentication work for Quest Diagnostics in Konnectify?
The connector uses OAuth 2.0 (SMART on FHIR style). You provide a Client ID and Client Secret, then complete the consent flow in Quest/Quanum. Konnectify uses tokens to call the FHIR endpoints according to the scopes granted.
Which Quest/Quanum plans or environments are supported?
Any environment that exposes the Quest Quanum EHR FHIR API and supports OAuth authorization for your tenant should work. Availability of specific resources and query parameters depends on your contract, configuration, and enabled scopes.
How do triggers work for this integration?
This connector version includes no native triggers. To automate, start your workflow with a Konnectify schedule trigger or a trigger from another app (e.g., “New row in database”, “New ticket”, etc.), then call the Quest read actions.
How do I prevent duplicates when syncing data elsewhere?
There are no “upsert” actions in this connector. For duplicate prevention, use a stable identifier from the returned FHIR resource (commonly resource.id plus system identifiers) and implement a lookup/upsert in the destination system (e.g., find-or-create logic) within your workflow.
What happens if we hit rate limits?
If the API responds with 429 Too Many Requests (or similar throttling), reduce concurrency, add retry with exponential backoff, and use narrower list queries. For large datasets, paginate and schedule runs during off-peak hours when possible.
Can I connect multiple Quest/Quanum tenants or accounts?
Yes. Create separate Konnectify connections for each tenant/client (each with its own Client ID/Secret and authorization). Then select the correct connection per workflow step.
Is PHI/clinical data handled securely, and what should I be careful about?
FHIR resources may contain PHI. Limit access to workflows, restrict logging of payloads, and ensure downstream destinations (storage, email, chat tools) are compliant with your organization’s policies (e.g., HIPAA). Prefer secure storage destinations and avoid sending full clinical payloads to non-compliant tools.
