Basic Usage

import { EHRAdapterFactory } from '@ehradapter/ehr-adapter';

// Initialize Mock Adapter for development
const adapter = EHRAdapterFactory.createAdapter({
  vendor: 'mock',
  baseUrl: 'https://mock.ehr.example.com',
  auth: {
    type: 'apikey',
    apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  },
});

// Search for patients
const patients = await adapter.searchPatients({
  name: 'John Smith',
  _count: 10,
});

// Get patient details
const patient = await adapter.getPatient('patient-123');

// Get patient vitals
const vitals = await adapter.getVitals('patient-123', {
  dateRange: {
    start: '2024-01-01',
    end: '2024-12-31',
  },
});

Epic Integration

const epicAdapter = EHRAdapterFactory.createAdapter({
  vendor: 'epic',
  baseUrl: 'https://fhir.epic.com/interconnect-fhir-oauth',
  auth: {
    type: 'oauth2',
    clientId: 'your-epic-client-id',
    clientSecret: 'your-epic-client-secret',
    scope: 'patient/*.read',
  },
});

// Epic-specific custom queries
const myChartData = await epicAdapter.executeCustomQuery({
  type: 'epic-mychart-summary',
  parameters: { patientId: 'epic-patient-123' },
});

Athena Integration

const athenaAdapter = EHRAdapterFactory.createAdapter({
  vendor: 'athena',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.athenahealth.com',
  auth: {
    type: 'apikey',
    apiKey: 'your-athena-api-key',
    practiceId: 'your-practice-id',
  },
});

// Athena-specific features
const practiceInfo = await athenaAdapter.executeCustomQuery({
  type: 'athena-practice-info',
  parameters: {},
});

🔐 Security Features

HMAC Request Signing

import { HMACProvider } from '@securecloudnetworks/ehr-adapter/security';

const hmacProvider = new HMACProvider({
  secretKey: 'your-hmac-secret-key-32-chars-minimum',
  algorithm: 'sha256',
  timestampTolerance: 300,
});

// Sign requests
const signature = hmacProvider.signRequest('GET', '/api/patients', headers, body);

// Verify signatures
const verification = hmacProvider.verifyRequest('GET', '/api/patients', headers, body);

JWT Token Management

import { JWTProvider } from '@securecloudnetworks/ehr-adapter/security';

const jwtProvider = new JWTProvider({
  secret: 'your-jwt-secret-key-32-chars-minimum',
  algorithm: 'HS256',
  expiresIn: 3600,
  issuer: 'your-app',
});

// Generate tokens
const token = jwtProvider.generateToken({
  sub: 'user-123',
  role: 'healthcare-provider',
});

// Verify tokens
const verification = jwtProvider.verifyToken(token);
