Patient

Overview

The Patient Resource provides general demographic information about a person receiving healthcare services from a specific organization. Common demographic fields include patient ID, patient name, gender, date of birth, address, phone, primary language, and marital status. Additional concepts returned as extensions and not part of the base resource include time of birth, preferred contact, race, ethnicity, and birth sex. Millennium is a patient-centric application; thus, many other resources include the patient ID in their queries. A person receiving care from multiple organizations may have information available in multiple patient resources in multiple FHIR servers.

The following fields are returned if valued:

Patient Combine Example

Millennium supports the ability to logically merge a patient record into another patient record when both records are describing the same patient. This action is known as a patient combine. If necessary, you can perform a patient uncombine to undo this merging. When the requested patient record is combined into another record, an inactive patient entry is returned with a link to the current patient entry. Entries for combined patients are only returned when retrieving the entries directly by ID. They are not returned when searching with other parameters.
