Lab Network iframe

The Lab Network iFrame allows developers to embed our ordering portal UI into their own products. This functionality enables users (providers or assisting staff) to submit lab orders through Health Gorilla without leaving their product's UI. The Lab Network iFrame supports lab orders only and does not support results delivery. This guide describes the iframe API and contains simple examples of requests to the corresponding endpoints.

Resources

OAuth 2.0
JSON-RPC Protocol Specification - http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification

1. Using OAuth 2.0 to Access Health Gorilla Diagnostic Network iframe

OAuth 2.0 protocol is used to secure Health Gorilla's API.
Your application must get an access token to access private data using Health Gorilla's API.

The place_orders scope is required to be granted to your client application to submit orders via Health Gorilla API.

You must follow OAuth 2.0 guidelines when making calls to Health Gorilla API.

2. Endpoints

Health Gorilla endpoints are accessible only over SSL, and plain text HTTP calls are rejected.

2.1. Lab Network iFrame API Endpoint

This service is based on the JSON-RPC protocol. You should be familiar with JSON-RPC protocol specification to clarify the common rules and error handling.
Health Gorilla healthcare providers endpoint is:

https://api.healthgorilla.com/doctor/api

        }
    }
    }]
}

3.1.2 Patient By Reference

Alternatively, you may directly reference the patient's resource ID (HG ID) if it is known, which will directly reference the patient as opposed to populating the entire Patient JSON and performing a lookup.

Field	Values	Description
patientId	Patient Resource ID (HG ID)	The Patient resource ID or HG ID, i.e. the internal resource ID.

Below you can find an example of such a payload.

{     
    "id": 1,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", 
    "method": "placeOrder",
    "params": [
        {
        "facilityType" : "DiagnosticLaboratories",          
        "callbackUrl" : "https://yourapp.com/neworder/callback", 
        "state" : "1",
        "patientId" : "59f71f62e8f8cc8cbe17cfd7"
        }
    ]
}

Response

A successful response contains the following fields:

Field	Description
callbackUrl	The URL to open the New Order wizard.

Below you can find an example of such a response:

{ 
  "jsonrpc": "2.0", 
  "result": [
    {
      "callbackUrl" : "https://healthgorilla.com/newsession?go=https%3A%2F%healthgorilla%2Fmarketplace%23new%2Forder%2Flab%26processId%3D62631e55e85ee9304c9bad80%26mode%3Dembedded%26patientIds%3Dd03d19550d4e030ad9bea63b"
    }
  ], 
  "id": 8
}

Callback URl is a URL to access Health Gorilla New Order wizard. Your application should take this URL from the response, append OAuth access token (access_token parameter) and then open it in a separate window or in a frame. The URL with the appended access token parameter will look like this:

https://sandbox.healthgorilla.com/newsession?go=https%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.healthgorilla.com%2Fclinicalnetwork%23new%2Forder%2Flab%26processId%3D60d14069afbd9a026a092bd9%26mode%3Dembedded%26patientIds%3D59f71f62e8f8cc8cbe17cfd7&access_token=eed75a66c1ff8e0db23c424bcdebaa3b

3.1.1. Example

Below you can see how to call JSON-RPC with curl tool.

curl -X POST -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer b0d14637fa9e47541e3e55c32828c307" --data-binary @path\to\file.json  https://api.healthgorilla.com/doctor/api

Where @path\to\file.json is the the path to the file that contains JSON request.
For example: @C:\tmp\placeOrder.json Then copy JSON example from 3.1 to the file and execute the command.

Once you get successful response to your call you can use value of callbackUrl response parameter to navigate iframe or new browser window to

3.2. Place Order Callback

Once Place New Order Wizard finishes it will be redirected to the callbackUrl you have provided. It will pass the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
responseCode	The result of Place New Order Wizard. Possible values are: success -- a new order has been successfully placed; canceled-- the process has been canceled by the user; error-- an error has occurred during the process.
responseMessage	Optional. Can provide error description in case when responseCode = error
state	The state parameter, if it was included to the initial request.
orderId	Optional. Placed order ID in case when responseCode = success for use in Get Order Request. See Chapter 3.3. Get Order Request
orderIds	Optional. Contains joined string (separated by ‘\|’) of placed orders IDs in case if order was split during placement

Examples:
