Patient Chart
As a feature of Patient360, the Patient Chart is the clinical viewer and API surface for accessing a patient's longitudinal clinical record. It presents structured medical history, clinical documents, and observations that Patient360 retrieves from connected health information networks, organized into a deduplicated view that clinical applications and end users can consume.
The Patient Chart depends on Patient360 retrieval. Records appear in the Patient Chart only after retrieval workflows have stored structured data in your tenant. The Patient Chart presents that data through an embedded clinical viewer and FHIR-based chart APIs.
The Patient Chart does not initiate retrieval, does not poll networks directly, and does not expose data that has not been ingested into your tenant.
Key Capabilities
- Presenting a deduplicated, longitudinal patient view through an embedded clinical user interface
- Exposing patient records by category through FHIR-based REST endpoints
- Classifying records by source as Internal, External, or Internal + External
- Deduplicating retrieved external data against your organization's local data at the point of consumption
- Marking external-only records with a Community Data icon
Access Methods
Health Gorilla provides two ways to consume Patient Chart data:
| Access Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Clinical viewer | A clinical user interface that presents a deduplicated, longitudinal patient view. Available standalone or as an iframe in your application. |
| Chart APIs | A set of FHIR-based REST endpoints for programmatic retrieval of patient records by category, including allergies, diagnoses, encounters, medications, immunizations, and others. |
Both access methods return data from the same stored, deduplicated patient record.
Relationship to Patient360
The Patient Chart is built on Patient360. Patient360 provides patient identity resolution, network document retrieval, and data normalization capabilities. The Patient Chart consumes the resulting structured dataset and presents it through the clinical viewer and chart APIs. For details on retrieval, see Record Retrieval.
Data Handling
After retrieval, the Patient Chart classifies records by source, uses your organization's local data to suppress duplicate external records, and presents a single view per clinical concept. For details on classification and deduplication behavior, see Source Categorization and Deduplication.
Patient Identity Requirement
All Patient Chart access requires a valid Health Gorilla patient ID.
- The patient must exist in your tenant
- Requests must reference the Health Gorilla patient ID
- Patient demographics should be complete and accurate
Patient identity and demographic completeness directly impact data availability and accuracy in the Patient Chart.
