API Reference

Installation

meteor add clinical:hl7-resource-patient

You may also wish to install the autopublish package, which will set up a default publication/subscription of the Patients collection for logged in users. You will need to remove the package before going into production, however.

meteor add clinical:autopublish

30Patients.insert(newPatient);

Extending the Schema

If you have extra fields that you would like to attach to the schema, extend the schema like so:

1ExtendedPatientSchema = new SimpleSchema([
2  PatientSchema,
3  {
4    "createdAt": {
5      "type": Date,
6      "optional": true
7    }
8  }
9]);
10Patients.attachSchema( ExtendedPatientSchema );

Initialize a Sample Patient

Call the initializePatient method to create a sample patient in the Patients collection.

1Meteor.startup(function(){
2  Meteor.call('initializePatient');
3})

Server Methods

This package supports createPatient, initializePatient, and dropPatient methods.

REST API Points
