Provide an endpoint for downloading and uploading patient attachments.

Hi Nick,

We will add it to our end points TO DO list. Thanks for that request too!

Hi,

Just wanted to add that this is an endpoint that the practice I represent would find extremely useful. The main application for us would be an integration with Medical Objects, which is a secure message transfer service that is widely used to communicate data like EPC (Enhanced Primary Care) plans & patient data between GPs and allied health practitioners. Medical Objects places received documents into a folder on the server it is located; being able to then automatically upload these to the appropriate patient's file would be fantastic.

I would venture that "important requirements" for this endpoint are:

1. Security
   • This should be covered by the HTTPS requirements already within the API.
2. Safety
   • Essentially, ensure that the file arrived intact and whole. I'm not sure whether the HTTP protocol itself would cover this or if a checksum mechanism would be necessary/useful.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help from the perspective of an allied health practice. I hope to see this implemented soon!

This would be a feature I would be interested in too. We have a simple form on our website for clients to add their own details (thanks for the API!) and it would be great if we could attach the Health Questionnaire we get them to complete at the same time.

Thanks

Hi,

We're keen to see attachment read/write endpoints too. Specifically, we'd like to deliver referral letters from GP clinical software to Cliniko at the time an appointment booking is made. The letter would then be associated with the patient record. After the consult(s) we'd like to have a way to deliver a report back to the referring GP.

Cheers, Christian

I'm looking at integrating with cliniko at the moment to push up a background questionnaire and some initial assessment documents for therapists. Attachments would be one of the key things I'd like to share.

Are there any updates on whether this API endpoint is being thought about at all?

[JohnColvin]

Nothing yet. It's on our list, just not at the top.

Another use for this would be adding pictures of moles, verrucas, and fungal nails etc straight from a phone.

I also would like this endpoint to be made. It would be very useful

I'm happy to report that this is finally done.
