Register Patient With Observation
with Medplum · Healthcare Interoperability Operations
Create a Patient and an Observation that references it.
- Create a FHIR Patient resource with the supplied name and birth date. Medplum returns the persisted resource including the server assigned id.
- Create an Observation whose subject references the patient created in the previous step.
- Read the newly created Observation back by id to confirm it persisted and to capture its current status.
What you'll need to have ready
- familyName: The patient's family (last) name.
- givenName: The patient's given (first) name.
- birthDate: The patient's date of birth in YYYY-MM-DD form.
- observationCode: The LOINC code for the observation (e.g. 8867-4 heart rate).
- observationDisplay: Human readable display for the observation code.
- observationValue: The numeric measured value of the observation.
- observationUnit: The UCUM unit of the measured value (e.g. /min).
