Context

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

{
    "name": "Dohar Upazila Health Complex",
    "url": "",
    "id": "10000069",
    "active": "1",
    "createdAt": "",
    "updatedAt": "2014-08-03 10:54:51",
    "coordinates": [
        "90.1401381000001",
        "23.5846912"
    ],
    "identifiers": {
        "agency": "DGHS",
        "context": "HRM",
        "id": "65"
    },
    "properties": {
        "ownership": "Fully Government-owned",
        "org_type": "Upazila Health Complex",
        "org_level": "Upazila",
        "care_level": "",
        "services": [],
        "locations": {
            "division_code": "30",
            "district_code": "26",
            "upazila_code": "18",
            "paurasava_code": "",
            "union_code": "",
            "ward_code": ""
        },
        "contacts": {
            "name": "",
            "email": "dohar@uhfpo.dghs.gov.bd",
            "phone": "27768188",
            "mobile": "1711706371",
            "fax": "nil\r"
        },
        "catchment": [
            "302618"
        ]
    }
}

catchment is defined as extended attribute "catchment" above. Note that a facility may have multiple catchment, in which case, the catchment attribute will list comma-separated values of the location id.

For example, if the above facility also serves people of "Dhamrai" upazila of Dhaka district, then the catchment returned be ["302614", "302618"]

 

NOTE: An establishment can also request encounters for locations included within the catchment as well. For example, "Dohar Upazila Health Complex" can request for "Dhamrai Paurasava" (30261860).

      NOTE: If no date filter is specified, then starting date of the month will be taken as a filter.

 

Response

Status: 200 OK
The result is a paginated list of encounters published in Atom or Json Feed format, depending on the Accept Header.

You can find more information of the feed and protocol and reference libraries here.

Since the number of encounters can be unfathomably large for a given catchment, the results are almost always paged, with the next-archive (ATOM) or nextUrl (JSON), providing the link to the next set of results, until a time when no more encounters are available, at which point the next-archive/nextUrl will be empty.

example:

/catchments/302618/encounters
