⛔️ DEPRECATED. Scala client for RedoxEngine.com healthcare APIs

Scala versions: 2.12 2.11

⛔️ DEPRECATED Scala Redox No Maintenance Intended

This is no longer supported.

Scala REST-client (Java compatible) for sending and receiving messages from the Redox healthcare APIs. Messages are sent and received asynchronously, returning Future[RedoxResponse[T]] objects that are either a type T or a RedoxErrorResponse hat can include Json validation/serialization issues or an HTTP status like 403 or 404.

Usage

See tests for usage examples.

You will need to set the environment variables REDOX_API_SECRET and REDOX_API_KEY in order to run the tests locally.

      val query = Json.fromJson[ClinicalSummaryQuery](Json.parse(json)).get
      val fut = client.get[PatientQuery, ClinicalSummary](query)
      fut.map { clinicalSummary =>
        clinicalSummary.VitalSigns.foreach(vs => ...do something with vitals...)
      }

You can of course create the ClinicalSummaryQuery object in Scala as well.

Installation

resolvers += Resolver.sonatypeRepo("releases")
resolvers += Resolver.sonatypeRepo("snapshots")
libraryDependencies += "com.github.vital-software" %% "scala-redox" % "8.0.3"

Tested with Scala 2.11.11

Architecture

Data-models available at Redox have been transcribed into Scala case classes.

  • Json serialization/deserialization using Play-Json gives you the full object graph: e.g. ClinicalSummary.Medications.map(med => med.Route.Code)
  • Strongly typed. String's in ISO 8601 format for example are converted into joda.DateTime
  • Non-required fields are Option[]

Dependencies

Future Work

Writing objects to Redox is still "hard", meaning you often need to know the Code and CodeSystem used. We may bind a CodeProvider trait that can be extended to provide codes to objects in a flexible way, such that your system does not need to know whether a code is Snomed CT or LOINC.

The same applies to adding units of measurement, with UCUM and ISO measurements integrated into the system.

It's also possible these will be split into separate repos to keep the rest-client clean.

Notes

An attempt was made to reconcile Redox's own internal data-structures, such that the "Provider" for example is the same object in Encounter.Providers and Document.Author. This occasionally required adding optional fields that are present in one model but not another. For example in models.Observation which is used by models.Result and models.Procedures:

  TargetSite: Option[BasicCode] = None,  // Used by Procedures only
  Interpretation: Option[String] = None  // Used by Result only

A different approach was taken by the PHP redox client listed below.
