Ethnicities Reference
The Ethnicities Reference allows the user to view the most common ethnicity values configured in the practice. For more information on ethnicity, please refer Registration Race and Ethnicity Requirements workflow.
Ethnicity is the patient's ethnic group affiliation.
The API returns the most common ethnic values that are used for the practice’s patients. In the POST API, there is a Patient Declined option for patients who do not wish to provide an answer to the ethnicity question when registering with the practice. Note: athenaNet uses the CDC Race and Ethnicity Code Set Version 1.0 for ethnicities. Consult hl7.org for a more detailed explanation.
