Patient

This topic describes information for the Patient resource.

To interact with the REST endpoints in the Patient resource, see Patient.

Overview

The Patient resource provides general demographic information about a person receiving healthcare services from a specific organization. Common demographic fields include patient ID, patient name, gender, date of birth, address, phone, primary language, and marital status. Millennium is a patient-centric application; thus, many other resources include the patient ID in their queries. A person receiving care from multiple organizations may have information available in multiple patient resources in multiple FHIR servers.
