FileRecord into EMIS (Partner APIs)

API Platform

Hello everyone,

I’m looking to use the partner API to file back a patient consultation to EMIS, including an attachment. If anyone has experience creating XML for medical record input for the FileRecord function, please share an example XML with dummy data.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Best regards,

@navin.bose

Hi Ali,

To file a patient consultation with an attachment into EMIS Web using the Partner API’s FileRecord function, you’ll need to construct an XML payload that adheres to EMIS’s specifications.

The webpage: https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/interface-mechanism-1-standards will help support with integration of your systems with any principal clinical GP system using IM1.

Please note that access to the Partner API and detailed documentation may require appropriate permissions and agreements with EMIS Health.

Please find attached a sample XML structure with placeholder data:
