IMPLEMENTATION

You can use this API action if your organization provides some type of patient monitoring, whether via a device, app, or both.

Use cases

This API action may be a good fit for your organization if you perform any of these use cases:

Receive orders from a provider for a device to monitor a patient.
Receive orders from a provider for nursing or app monitoring.

Supported systems

You can receive messages like this with the Redox FHIR® API.

Talk to a Redoxer

It’s also possible to use the Redox Data Model API for this API action. Talk to a Redoxer to learn about your options.

Your connection's system can send messages with their own FHIR® or proprietary API or an HL7v2 feed.

Lightweight or detailed notification

Depending on your connection’s capabilities, you can opt in for lightweight or detailed notifications.

A lightweight notification is typically a bare bones message with the relevant identifier (e.g., patient, visit #) and an indication of “something's new” or “something has changed.” Lightweight notifications generally trigger you to do something within your own workflow or to query for more information.

On the other hand, a detailed notification means that you receive all the data about what’s new or what's changed. This might be useful if you need to persist all that data in your system to complete your own unique workflow.
