adding observation to existing patient in Cerner Sandbox

[madhusudan kannan]

Hi All

  I am fairly new to the FHIR and Cerner sandbox environs. I could successfully follow the steps mentioned in https://engineering.cerner.com/smart-on-fhir-tutorial/#test-your-app to create a sample app to retrieve patient details from Cernet Sandbox.

   Could someone point me to any resources for adding observation data to one of the patients (for example - i would like to add LDL data to one of the patients or would like to update the blood pressure value of one of the patients)? First of all, is this allowed?

Thanks in advance!!

Hello Madhusudan,

You can refer to our API documentation as to how to create Observations - http://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/r4/clinical/diagnostics/observation/#create

Thanks,

Thank you Fenil!!

Had a couple of follow-up questions:

- While creating R4 app, can we do a simple find and replace dstu2 with R4 in the sample code (https://fhir-myrecord.cerner.com/dstu2/ec2458f2-1e24-41c8-b71b-0e701af7583d)? 

- If i write a code for my app which updates observation data for a patient, can that also be hosted on my gh-pages branch? are there any instructions around how to ensure the code can be run the same was as the sample code?

Hello,

By sample code I assume you are talking about our tutorial - https://engineering.cerner.com/smart-on-fhir-tutorial/

If so, technically you can use R4. However, our tutorial App was created specifically keeping DSTU2 in mind. And also have added a note for the same

Note: This tutorial is in the process of being updated for the newer version of FHIR - R4. Outside of this tutorial, the use of R4 over DSTU2 is encouraged.

You can host your app whenever you need as long as its connected to the internet.

Thanks,

Fenil
