Patient

Example: Posting a Patient

The following code snippet takes a Client object and uses it to post a Patient resource to Epic:

const response = await client.create(myPatient).catch((reason) => {
  throw new Error(`Failed to create resource because: ${reason}`);
});

console.log(response);

Note that unlike the DocumentReference example, we do not provide a patient or encounter ID to the create function

The corresponding myPatient:


const noteText = "Some example Note text"
const myPatient: Patient = {
    "resourceType": "Patient",
    "name": [
        {
            "use": "usual",
            "given": [
                "Demo"
            ],
            "family": "Patient",
            "prefix": [
                "Mr."
            ]
        }
    ],
    "gender": "male",
    "birthDate": "1990-01-01",
    "address": [
        {
            "use": "home",
            "type": "both",
            "line": [
                "123 Main St"
            ],
            "city": "Anytown",
            "state": "CA",
            "postalCode": "12345",
            "country": "US"
        }
    ]
};
