Redox Data Models
PatientAdmin
PatientMerge

PatientAdmin

This data model allows you to stay up-to-date on documented patient demographics, insurance, and the patient identifier used by the EHR system (usually an MRN). PatientAdmin relies on an admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT) feed from a provider.

PatientAdmin data can vary, but there are two main categories of data:

  • Patient-level: Information about the patient that persists over time (e.g., name, address, gender, DOB, email address, primary care provider) that isn't tied to a particular encounter.
  • Visit-level: Information pertaining to the patient's visit (e.g., the current location within the hospital, referring provider, admitting provider, care team, or discharge date/time).

This data model has event types that allow you to:

  • receive a notification about patient appointments or records;
  • query for and receive a list of admitted patients; or
  • query for and receive patient visit information.

PatientMerge

Receive a notification when a provider identifies and combines duplicate patient records in the EHR system.

We strongly recommend receiving PatientMerge events if you persist patient data in your application. Though PatientMerge events aren't triggered often, they're helpful to make sure you have the correct patient identifiers and that your system doesn't have duplicate records.

You decide what happens in your system when you receive this event type. Most customers choose to receive PatientMerge events and get notified via email or other method so someone can manually review and merge duplicate patient records.
