The PatientSummary service

The PatientSummary service in opal.services provides us with core functionality related to interacting with patient search results in the client.

Constructor

The PatientSummary service is instantiated with the patient search result data that comes back from the patient search JSON API.

var patientSummary = new PatientSummary(json_data);

Whatever is on the JSON response is put onto patientSummary.data. The constructor adds in the below to the object itself:

• hospitalNumber
• patientId
• link A link to the patients patient detail page
• dateOfBirth The patient's date of birth cast to a moment
• startDate The patient's earliest episode.start cast to a moment
• endDate The patient's last episdoe.end cast to a moment
• years The span of years between startDate and EndDate e.g. "2020-2023"
• categories A comma joined string of the patient's episode categories, e.g. "Inpatient, ICU"
