Patient
Technical reference for the Patient module in Care EMR. For a product-oriented overview, see the Patient concept.
Encounter
An Encounter records a single interaction between a patient and a facility — a visit, admission, or consultation — and maps to the FHIR Encounter resource. You create one when a patient presents, drive it through its status lifecycle, and read it back to render the clinical timeline.
Condition
A Condition records a clinical problem, diagnosis, or symptom against a patient. It maps to the FHIR Condition resource and shows up in the Care product UI as Symptoms.
Allergy Intolerance
AllergyIntolerance records a patient's allergy or intolerance to a substance, scoped to the encounter where it was captured. Care aligns it to FHIR AllergyIntolerance. You touch this resource when recording a known allergy during an encounter or reading a patient's allergy list.
Observation
An Observation is one named, coded data point about a subject — almost always a patient: a blood pressure reading, a temperature, a coded answer captured through a questionnaire. main_code records what was observed (usually bound to LOINC) and value holds the result. You rarely create one by hand; most observations are materialized when a questionnaire is submitted.
Diagnostic Report
A DiagnosticReport records the results and interpretation of a diagnostic test, tied to the ServiceRequest that ordered it. You create one to report on an investigation, then read it back with its observations, encounter, and requester embedded.
Consent
A Consent records a patient's permit-or-deny decision for a category of activity, scoped to an encounter. You write one when capturing a patient's agreement (or refusal) to treatment, research, privacy disclosure, or an advance directive.
Notes
Notes are threaded discussions attached to a patient. A NoteThread groups messages; a NoteMessage is one message in that thread, carrying a server-maintained edit history.
Specimen
A Specimen is a physical sample — blood, tissue, swab — collected from a patient for laboratory analysis. You create one to fulfill a lab order, then update it as the specimen moves through collection, receipt, and processing.
Service Request
A ServiceRequest is an order or proposal to perform an action — clinical or otherwise — for a patient (FHIR ServiceRequest). It drives the creation of specimens, diagnostic reports, observations, and procedures, each of which links back to the originating request. Care implements a minimal subset of the FHIR spec.
Questionnaire Response
A QuestionnaireResponse is the set of answers a patient gives to a questionnaire; a FormSubmission is the envelope that carries that payload through a draft-to-finalised lifecycle. You touch these when reading back what was answered or when submitting new answers.
