    "These docs have moved. The Elation Health API documentation now lives at
    help.elationhealth.com... The old pages are still reachable if you have a
    direct link to one, but they are no longer listed here and are no longer
    being updated."
  note: >-
    The legacy ReadMe developer portal (docs.elationhealth.com) still returns 200
    for direct links and its MCP server still answers, but it is explicitly
    frozen. REST, FHIR and HL7 documentation are now consolidated on
    help.elationhealth.com, which additionally serves an A2A agent card, an MCP
    server card, an Agent Skills index and llms.txt.
deprecation:
  policy_url: https://help.elationhealth.com/articles/rest/changelog/changelog
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    Elation communicates removals and behavior changes through a dated changelog
    with explicit "Breaking change" labels (e.g. 2026-07-20 lab_vendors now
    rejects a null practice_created; 2026-04-22 default pagination switched from
    offset to cursor; enum values removed from the Immunization object in Mar
    2026). There is still no formal Deprecation/Sunset (RFC 8594) response-header
    policy and no dated sunset window published, so no Deprecation pointer is
    emitted.
