Notes

This data model allows you to exchange plain text or rich text content with an EHR system. This is helpful if you want to display content in the EHR context with advanced text parsing capabilities (e.g., NLP, searching of the chart).

This is typically non-structured documentation about a patient's clinical care. Notes can summarize actions taken in third-party apps and provide context for the patient's chart in the EHR system. Alternatively, notes created in the EHR system may be sent outbound to apps for reference or analysis.

​You can also send files or documents with the Media 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 note document; or
  • query for and receive note documents.

New

Receive a notification when a new note or document is added to the patient's chart. The message can contain the actual note content, along with the related patient, visit, and provider info.

This is different from Notes.QueryResponse, which doesn't include provider info.
