Forms API

Forms in Lotus are represented as Questionnaire FHIR objects. Our REST API for forms includes default options, checks for minimum requirements, and ensures that forms are securely attached to the correct users. This guarantees that all information remains private and secure.

This endpoint contains a function createPDF that is used to generate a PDF document from a given questionnaire response. The function uses four parameters:

data, patient_id, form_id, and questionnaire.

data is of type RequestData and represents the response to the questionnaire.

patient_id is a string representing the ID of the patient.

form_id is a string representing the ID of the form.

questionnaire is an optional parameter of type Questionnaire.

The function uses the pdfMake library to create the PDF document. The structure of the document is defined in docDefinition, which includes the title of the questionnaire and the answers to the questionnaire items. The answers are obtained by calling the getAnswer function to parse the specific integration, for each item in data.item.

The createPDF function returns an object containing the created PDF and any potential error. If the environment is set to 'development', the function will return the PDF and null for the error.

In our production environment, the function will send the PDF to ClaimPower to make it available for the doctor and patient.
