The Athenahealth adapter is designed to provide a template for getting started with Athenahealth API integrations, including. It leverages the ATHENA Library to:

  1. Authenticating Authenticate with the Athenahealth API Server via OAuth2.0

  2. Demo AthenaOne APIs Integration: saerchPatient searchPatient and createPatient

  3. Demo FHIR APIs Integration: searchPatientsFhir

Manual Populated Component Configurations

  • ClientId: the Athenahealth application client ID

  • ClientSecret: the Athenahealth application client secret

  • Scopes: the space-delimited string that lists the scopes of access that the application has, e.g. . By default, this example component will include the scopes you need to access the AthenaOne and FHIR Patient API endpoints (ex. athena/service/Athenanet.MDP.* system/Patient.read )

  • Prod: boolean value to indicate whether to use the Preview or Production AthenaHealth environment

  • PracticeId: AthenaHealth practice ID. By default, this will contain the sandbox practice ID (ex. 1128700).

You can get ClientId, Client Secret, and Scopes from App Setup: Setup Athenahealth Sandbox

How the ATHENA Library works:

Expand
titleATHENAclient - sets up the adapter framework

Sets up the ATHENA adapter framework, adding the various method modules to a metatable and storing the configurations added to the custom fields.

Expand
titleATHENAauth - authenticates with the Athenahealth server

The ATHENAauth function builds and makes the HTTP POST token request to obtain the access token required for interacting with the AthenaHealth API.

If the token request is successful (HTTP 200 response), the token and token expiry returned are set to the Key and KeyExpiry custom fields respectively.

Expand
titleATHENAcustom - makes API requests and returns the response

ATHENAcustom takes in any API requests and parameters to make the API call and return the response.

  • First the function checks if the token Key exists or if the KeyExpiry time has passed and performs the OAuth2.0 authentication workflow to obtain the token to be used in subsequent requests.

  • Uses the passed configurations API request parameters - the method (ex. post), API (ex. v1/1128700/patients), headers (ex. Content-Type), and parameters for the call (ex. the patient details to be created) - to build and carry out the appropriate HTTP request.

Expand
titleATHENAcreatePatient - prepares arguments for ATHENAcustom to create a patient

ATHENAcreatePatient prepares the arguments, including populating the path parameters (ex. practice ID) in the API string and loading the required header. It then calls ATHENAcustom to create a patient in Athenahealth via HTTP POST request.

Expand
titleATHENAsearchPatients - prepares arguments for ATHENAcustom to search for a patient based on the provided query parameters

ATHENAsearchPatients prepares the arguments, including populating the path parameters (ex. practice ID) in the API string. It then calls ATHENAcustom to search for a patient in Athenahealth.

ATHENAsearchPatientsFhir prepares the arguments, including the FHIR-specific API string, and calls ATHENAcustom to search for a FHIR patient in Athenahealth.

Verify the connection is successful by checking the Translator annotations or running the component

Click Edit > Make a Copy and Edit to open the Translator.

You can verify the connection from the Translator by clicking on the results of the patient searches in the annotations.

You can also verify the created patient by starting the component, checking the logs for the newly created patient’s ID, and checking the Athenahealth sandbox How to use Athenahealth Sandbox or the updated search results in the Translator.
