Patient record API

Overview

A patient record is the repository of information about a single patient. In the context of Truepill’s telehealth APIs, think of the patient record object as a summary of all the personal, clinical and administrative data related to a patient that is needed prior to, during and after a consult.

Create a patient record

A patient record can be created using our /telehealth/patient API endpoint. Truepill will provide a receipt confirmation of the request, and you will be required to reference your patient_record_id for subsequent consult requests.

Update a patient record

You can update a patient record at any time prior to or after a provider consult. The patient record object lives forever in the Truepill ecosystem, where you can reference it today or even a year later for a follow up consult. This enables our providers to see the history of data associated with your patient to provide the highest quality of care.
