A facility may download encounters for patients in their catchment for offline access to patients' records. This applies to any other system like a CHW system, or other subsystems requiring access to data either for clinical or for analytical purpose.
The API returns encounters of patients in a given catchment. The catchment is defined by central systems like a Facility Registry.
In BDHIE context, the catchment is defined as a "location id" defined by the "Location Registry", corresponding to the Geo location codes defined by BBS and provided through Location Registry (DGHS HRM system).
The applicable catchment definition for an establishment is done through the "Facility Registry" (DGHS HRM system).
For example:
- Location of Dohar Upazila of Dhaka district is defined as
/locations/302618.json
{"code": "18",
"id": "302618",
"name": "Dohar",
"type": "upazila",
"active": "1",
"hierarchy": [
{"code": "30",
"name": "Dhaka",
"type": "division"
},
{"code": "26",
"name": "Dhaka",
"type": "district"
},
{"code": "18",
"name": "Dohar",
"type": "upazila"
}
]
}
The "id" attribute (above) defines the "catchment id" for the catchment encounters API.
- Facility may be defined as
/facilities/10000069.json
