How can I update patient information?

[Monty Lennie]

I have followed the tutorial: https://engineering.cerner.com/smart-on-fhir-tutorial/#introduction

Now I would like to ask the user a question: "Is this patient alive?" Or "Are you currently feeling pain?" and then update that user with the new information.

What is the best way to go about this?

Hey Monty, I'm glad you got a chance to play around with the API!

 

The concept of `deceased` is an attribute of the Patient resource (see: Patient.deceased).  However our FHIR implementation doesn't currently support patient updates (see: https://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/dstu2/individuals/patient).

 

The response to the question "Are you currently feeling pain?" would like be an Observation or a Questionnaire Response FHIR resource, which we also don’t currently support the creation of.

Thank you Eric, 

Is there currently anything that I can update? Do you have a list of things that can be updated in connection to a patient?

You can see that in the documentation - for example DocumentReference can be created: https://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/dstu2/infrastructure/document-reference/

MedicationStatement and Condition are a couple more resources that support updates.
