Find patients

GET/patients

Finds the patients with a phone number or MRN. Pass at least one of phone or mrn; there’s no way to list the whole directory. A phone number can match several patients, like a shared family phone.

Credentials: API key, or an OAuth access token
Scope: patients.read

Run in Postman: import the collection, set api_key, and find this request in its folder.

Query parameters

org_idUUID

phonestring

A phone number, in any common format.

mrnstring

The patient’s ID in your system.

page[limit]integer

Number of records to return. Defaults to 50, maximum 100.

page[after]string

Cursor from the previous page’s pagination.next_cursor.

Returns

Returns 200 OK with a data array of Patient objects and a pagination object. See pagination.
