Patient facing App - Scheduling

[Dhanya joy]

I am trying to build a patient facing SMART app for Scheduling. (finally end up in Healthelife). I did find that as soon as I choose App type as "Patient" facing, scope for appointment says "read" but not write.

Attaching the screenshot.  May I know if FHIR is an option? Any alternative suggestions?

I would like to develop and integrate my custom SMART application that lets patients to book  "appointment" into HealthLife. But I see that App type "Patient" does not have the scope for appointment.write

Can someone please advise if creating an app of type "SYSTEM"  is the path to go or not?

[Aaron McGinn (Cerner)]

Correct, the 'patient' persona currently does not have the capability to write information back into Cerner. Our documentation [1] lists the persona types that are authorized for each action in a resource. In this case, both system and provider personas have the ability to create appointments.

Appreciate your response on weekend

I currently do not have a system account to test it from cerner sandbox. I have request for one, waiting on the response 

Meanwhile, Is it ok/advised to user "System personas"  from Healthelife in order to create appointment? Do you see any issues going with that solution?  

[Aaron McGinn (Cerner)]

You should have a separate system account [1] for each FHIR and HealtheIntent workflows.

Can you help me figure out the url? 

• If you are a Cerner client developing their own application, you may have a customized URL for Cerner Central that can be used instead. For example: https://yourcompanynamegoeshere.cernercentral.com/system-accounts

[Aaron McGinn (Cerner)]

You will most likely not use a customized URL for Cerner Central:

https://cernercentral.com/system-accounts

I work for cerner client and I assume I should have  customized URL . Agree? I am not sure, how to get it though.

Can someone please help me here?

I have requested for a system account and unfortunately its still pending. I work for Cerner client. I am worried if I am on wrong direction?

[Aaron McGinn (Cerner)]

The account approval process usually takes several days. Are you trying to test in your domain or the public sandbox domain?

Oh really,

My plan was to start with  sandbox , then MOCK, then PROD  

Cerner sandbox says "Please request a system account via the nonproduction instance of Cerner Central System Account Registration. Paste the provided system account key in this textbox. " 

And so I assume I should wait until I get this account key? or are there any other alternatives?
