API to determine availability of online scheduling (FLocator) #26956

Closed mmiddaugh closed 3 years ago

Issue Description

As a Veteran searching for locations offering COVID-19 vaccinations, I want to know which locations allow online scheduling through VAOS.

During Q2 21, the Facilities team planned to provide this information by connecting directly to and by providing access to this data via a backend connection to Lighthouse (#22736). However, the service details were slow to roll out and dependent on an update to the interface with Drupal.

to create a short term solution, we created a directly connection to VAOS (#21734) which was parked before implementation in a pivot to present walk-in availability. This connection communicates the availability of online scheduling for COVID-19 vaccine services if patientHistoryRequired is present (with either yes or no value).

This work will allow a direct connection to the source of truth for online scheduling without translation through VAOS.
