Overview

Patient is the main entity in TRxHub. Based on a Patient, other entities like a Coverage or a ServiceRequest can be created. TRxHub itself does not store the data provided. It only stores the generated TRxHub ID. Therefore, when reading a patient, only the TRxHub ID is returned.

Telecom

Telecom defines the means to contact a patient. Available systems are: email and phone. At least one entry of either phone or email is required.

The format of the values is not validated.

Address

Exactly one address with use home is required. It represents the patient's legal residential address (Swiss "Domiziladresse"), i.e. the address where the patient is officially registered as resident.
