Is there an API that returns organisation/provider names not in uppercase?

Hi there,

I’m looking to get organisation names in the format that are used on https://www.myplannedcare.nhs.uk/

For example, for ODS RCF22, I want this name:

Airedale General Hospital

Instead of the name in ODS:

AIREDALE GENERAL HOSPITAL

Whilst this example is just a different casing, I’ve seen other examples where the format/punctuation is different so I’d like to avoid formatting the name myself.

Is this data available in any of these APIs?

Hi Jamie

Although title case data is not currently available via the ODS Organisation Data Terminology FHIR R4 API, we do have a backlog item to assess the feasibility of adding this. It would be helpful to us if you could outline your use case so that we can add it to our requirements document, and it will help increase the priority of this development.

If you could email a short use case summary to me at laura.reeves@nhs.net I’d be very grateful.

Many thanks

Laura
