Notes

This data model allows you to exchange plain text or rich text content with an EHR system. This is helpful if you want to display content in the EHR context with advanced text parsing capabilities (e.g., NLP, searching of the chart).

This is typically non-structured documentation about a patient's clinical care. Notes can summarize actions taken in third-party apps and provide context for the patient's chart in the EHR system. Alternatively, notes created in the EHR system may be sent outbound to apps for reference or analysis.

​You can also send files or documents with the Media and Results data models. Learn how to send a file with different data models.

This data model has event types that allow you to:

  • save, replace, or delete a note document; or
  • query for and receive note documents.

QueryResponse

Receive note file metadata and content, along with the related patient and visitor info, based on the query parameters defined in Notes.Query.

Remember that you won't receive provider info. To receive provider info with note details, we recommend listening for new notes with the Notes.New event type instead.

    • Test
      boolean, null
      Reliable

      Indicates whether the request is a test or not.

    • Source
      object

      Contains the information for the system initiating the message, including the source ID and name.
      Included in messages from Redox

      • ID
        string, null
        Reliable

        Identifies the system initiating the message. If you have multiple OAuth API keys per environment type, this value is required. If you have only one OAuth API key per environment type, or you're using legacy API keys, this value is optional.
        UUID

      • Name
        string, null
        Reliable

        Displays the name of the system initiating the message.

    • Destinations
      Array of object

      Contains the information for the endpoint(s) receiving the request. A request must contain at least one destination, but asynchronous requests can have more than one destination. Synchronous requests like queries can only support one destination.
      Required when sending data to Redox.

      • ID
        string, null
        Reliable

        Identifies the endpoint that the request is directed to.
        UUID

      • Name

      Contains the log identifier(s) for the request.

      • ID
        string, null
        Reliable

        Identifies the request log(s) that correspond to this request. You can use this value to locate the relevant log in the Redox dashboard for support and reference.
        UUID

      • AttemptID
        string, null
        Reliable

        Identifies the request log attempt value, which is useful when retries are possible.
        UUID

    • FacilityCode
      string, null
      Possible

      Code for the facility related to the message.
      Only use this field if a health system indicates you should. The code is specific to the health system's EHR and might not be unique across health systems. In general, the facility fields within the data models (e.g. OrderingFacility) are more reliable and informative.

  • Notes
    Array of object
    • Patient
      object
      • Identifiers
        Array of object

        List of IDs and ID types that identify the patient

      string, null
      Probable

      Displays the name of the document.

    • DocumentType
