EHR

Create EHR

Create a new EHR with an auto-generated identifier.

An EHR_STATUS resource needs to be always created and committed in the new EHR. This resource MAY be also supplied by the client as the request body. If not supplied, a default EHR_STATUS will be used by the service with following attributes:

  • is_queryable: true
  • is_modifiable: true
  • subject: a PARTY_SELF object

All other required EHR attributes and resources will be automatically created as needed by the EHR creation semantics.

post/ehr
