Appointment Health History Form

The Appointment Health History form feature will allow the user to view or modify patients historical health information. For more information, refer Health form History workflow.

For the PUT call, you’ll be sending the exact same data structure back from the original GET, with possible changes to the answers. Each section should have a complete set to true once it is completed by a patient. The various IDs that are not specified in the fielddata hash should be parroted back to the API unchanged; this is how we keep track of the questions. Those IDs are not shared between practices. They are set whenever the portal health history form questions are added or changed.

While it's easiest just to return the entire structure, the minimum to be sent back are the 'portalformsectionid,' 'type,' 'complete,' 'empty,' and 'questions' elements. In the 'questions' elements, you just need the 'fields' (and subelements) and 'portalformquestionid' elements. The exceptions are the MEDICATION and ALLERGY sections, in which almost all elements under 'questions' are required.

complete string Marks whether this section has been completed by/signed off by the patient.

portalformsectionid integer The athena ID for this section.
questions array List of questions and existing answers (if any) for this section. All of the fields in here must be returned as is, except the values within 'fields'. Those can be set per the specified 'inputtype'. For the FAMILY history section, the 'question' => 'fields' section is an array and not a hash. Each element of the array contains a hash of the specified 'fielddate' ('default', 'diedofage', 'onsetage', 'relationkeyid' (required), and 'relation' (required)). To create new relations of a given type, specify a different numerical relationkeyid. For the SOCIAL history section, questions with inputtype: "DROPDOWN" will have an array of "dropdownvalues". Each item in "dropdownvalues" is an array containing a key and a value together, representing a dropdown option. You should always display the value and save/return the key ("fields[default]" should be a dropdown key). For all SOCIAL history section questions, a property of "deprecated" with a value of 1 indicates that the question has been deprecated. A deprecated question is a question that was previously supported, and is now considered obsolete for any number of reasons; it could've been replaced with another question, the nature of the question is no longer relevant, etc. While these questions may still be answered, the use of them is not recommended, and the question will display as "deleted" in the client's workflow.
sex string If set, this form only applies to the specified sex. Athena will be prefiltering on this field, so it's only for reference.
type string The section type. It can be MEDICATION, ALLERGY, MEDICAL, FAMILY, SURGICAL, SOCIAL, OBGYN, or VACCINATION.
