fhir-patient-api

This node package provides an alternate method for calculating clinical quality measures provided with the tools in popHealth.

This package provides an implementation of the patientapi. The patientapi provides access to the information on a patient when calculating a clinical quality measure. In the past, this information was stored in a single JSON document inside of MongoDB. The format of the JSON document was based on the HITSP C32/Consolidated CDA, however it was a custom format and not a standard.

This package provides an implementation of the patientapi that is FHIR based. It assumes that the data will be stored in a JSON format of FHIR resources (with some minor modifications). Resources are stored in separate MongoDB collections. The code in this package takes care of loading all of the resources associated with a patient from different collections so that the clinical quality measure calculation does not need to concern itself with the underlying implementation.
