Retrieving encounterId after launch authorization

[Sathish Gopalan]

I would like to retrieve the encounterID after the launch authorization

I went through the documentation http://docs.smarthealthit.org/authorization/scopes-and-launch-context/ .

The documentation indicates that encounterID is returned as json after access token response call.

Is this data returned as POST parameter and how is encounterID retrieved after authorization ?.

Thanks

Sathish,

See the example for the token response here: http://fhir.cerner.com/authorization/#processing-the-authorization-grant-response

encounter and patient fields are returned per the SMART spec you referenced when the app is launched from the EHR. They're returned in the same JSON object as the access_token and other OAuth fields.

You can also see a more full example in the SMART docs here: http://docs.smarthealthit.org/authorization/#for-example-4

You would take the FHIR id for encounter and read the Encounter resource (eg: /Encounter/123abc), similar to what your app may do to read patient already using the context passed back.
