API Integration

Partner Integration

External partner organizations can use the LIS API to read and write data in the LIS

API Integration is the ideal method to exchange data with external software services/applications used by integration partners

Technical guidance for API developers is available here

This is intended for developers that will be building integration with the LIS

PERMISSIONS	FUNCTION
Create Patients	Create new patients in the LIS patient database
Create Tests	Create new samples/tests in the LIS orders index

PERMISSIONS	FUNCTION
Read Patients	Read patient data in the LIS patient database
Read Tests	Read samples/test data in the LIS orders index

PERMISSIONS	FUNCTION
Update Patients	Update patient data in the LIS patient database
Update Tests	Update samples/test data in the LIS orders index

PERMISSIONS	FUNCTION
Client ID	Specifies which client(s) can be accessed

PERMISSIONS	FUNCTION
Location ID	Specifies which location(s) can be accessed

Duplicate patients are identified by the system during import to help preserve the integrity of patient database.

If a patient has an externalPatientID that matches an existing patient profile in the database, this will prevent a duplicate patient from being created

The externalPatientID field represents a unique patient ID provided by any externally integrated party

All patients have internal patient IDs assigned to them by the LIS upon creation of their patient profile
All patients can also have one external ID associated with their patient profile to allow external parties to easily identify them in the LIS
- By default, patients do not have an external ID value unless one is assigned to them, usually during patient creation.

No Email = No Account

If the patient does not have a valid email address provided during profile creation, a patient account will not be created for them.

Patients without an account cannot login to view their test results
