Episode Registration

[dkoutsonikolis]

We should be able to register an episode for an existing patient.

To do that we should create a POST /episodes/{patient_id}/ endpoint, which would expect as input the following:

• type of episode
• hospital_id, this is the hospital where the episode was registered. To get the possible hospitals, the FE should use the GET /hospitals/ endpoint.
• CEPOD
• Side
• Occurence
• Type
• Complexity
• Comments
• Mesh Type
• Anaesthetic Type
• Diathermy Used
• surgeon_ids, a list of the ids of the surgeons of the episode (retrieve them through the endpoint described here GET Medical Personnel endpoint (List) #48 )

Note: We will validate if there is a PatientHospitalMapping entry for the specified Hospital for this patient before registering an episode. If we want to register an episode where there is no PatientHospitalMapping entry yet, we should first create one using the POST patient-hospital-mappings endpoint.

@katsanevakis I have some questions:

1. For the Surgeons field, we should use the endpoint described in GET Medical Personnel endpoint (List) #48 and the FE should choose only users with certain levels (eg Lead Surgeon, Surgeon, etc.). If yes, could you provide those levels? If not, this means that we should be able to add to the Surgeons field any MedicalPersonnel without checking their level(eg add a secretary in the Surgeons field)?
2. There is a comments field which we have talked about and have already added as a DB field. However, there is an additional free text field Additional Procedures, Complications which we have not talked about. Should we add an extra free text field for this one? Is there a reason we need to have two free text fields for an Episode?
3. We have discussed about a surgery_date field in the DB(we have already added it). However, I don't see any such field in the Patient Registration page. Should we add one or do we assume that the date that an episode was registered is the same as the surgery date? I also suppose that the surgery date is a mandatory field?
4. I guess all of the fields are mandatory except the free text fields, right?

1. The current requirements for levels are :
   Surgeon
   Lead Surgeon
   National Lead

2. The 1st comment box is for info about the Episode details and the 2nd one for info about the surgery.

3. we could have it as an input in the episode registration page, with current date as default. (there might be the case you want to retroactively add episodes happened in past dates.

4. Yes
