Media

This data model allows you to exchange files (e.g., JPEG, PDF, WAV) like photos, videos, and audio recordings, as well as imaging and documents to or from a patient's chart.

You can also send files or documents with the Notes 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 media document; or
query for and receive media documents.

Not for DICOM files

Most EHR systems don't use this data model to receive diagnostic quality images like DICOM files.

EHR support for Media

Most EHR systems require the patient identifier and basic patient demographics (e.g., name, date of birth) to save a document to a patient's chart.

The EHR system may also require provider information like who generated the document, the file type, the filename, document ID, and whether the document has been authenticated and authorized to be shared in the patient’s chart. Or a visit ID may be required if the document is associated with a specific visit.

QueryResponse

Receive media file metadata and content based on the query parameters defined in Media.Query.

Data on demand enabled

This event type is available with data on demand. Learn more about data on demand.
