Listening for hospital admission updates is useful if you want to know about movements within a specific hospital. Typically, you can use this API action so that you are notified when any of these events occur within your connection’s EHR system:
- A patient is admitted to the hospital.
- A patient is transferred to a different department of the hospital.
- A patient is discharged from the hospital.
A notification is triggered anytime there is an admission, transfer, or discharge for an individual patient within the hospital.
You can receive notifications like this with the Redox FHIR® API.
Your connection's system can push notifications with a polling or subscription type of system.
