Key Terms

The SteadyMD Platform and Partner APIs is divided into two primary sections - EMR and the Consult Endpoints.

EMR endpoints are only used for sending patient information and chart details including demographics, clinical intake questionnaires & their responses, proof of identity verification, and any clinical documentation to come out of a visit.

Consult endpoints are the workflow system powering SteadyMD's integrated care delivery system. These endpoints are used to request time for a clinician to interact with a patient using one of the program's approved visit types and the consult status informs you where the patient is in the care experience.

Below are key terms to understand while building your integration

1. EMR
   1. Episode of Care
      1. Pharmacy
      2. Intake Questionnaire
      3. Intake Observations
      4. Messages
      5. Encounter
      6. Prescription (Rx)
      7. Diagnosis (Dx)
      8. Lab Order
2. Consult
   1. Once all the information a clinician needs to evaluate has been sent to the EMR, you can use a consult endpoint to request an async or callback consult, notify a clinician of a new message, retrieve available appointment times, schedule an appointment, or use our video visit platform.The types of consults that can be requested in a program will be defined in the SteadyMD system. The SteadyMD team will provide you with these values after the workflow is defined. Partners cannot create consults for Consult Types not supported by the program.
   2. Consults May include
      1. consult_type: Controls the consult workflow
      2. Reason for Visit: List of potential visit categories
      3. Patient’s Location (State): Where the patient is currently located. This may be different than their home or mailing address and should be validated each time the patient requests a virtual visit.
      4. Link to Episode of Care or Partner EMR:
      5. Modality: The expected method of communication between patient and clinician
      6. Consult Status: Where the patient is in their visit workflow
      7. Consult Status Reason: why the consult is in this particular status (not available for all statuses)
      8. Clinician: The clinician assigned to the visit.
