Python CarePoint Library

This library will allow you to interact with CarePoint using Python.

For the most part, it just provides some convenience wrappers to encapsulate

all of the tables within one object/session for easy use.

Most of the methods return SQLAlchemy ResultProxies.

Installation

To install this module, you need to:

• Utilize a system able to access all CarePoint network resources (database, SMB)

• This includes things like DNS entries for the NETBIOS names

• Setup UnixODBC - http://help.interfaceware.com/kb/904

• Install UnixODBC development headers - apt-get install unixodbc-dev

• Install dependencies - pip install -r requirements.txt

• Install library - pip install .

Setup

• Create an Active Directory user

• Give AD user permissions to CarePoint images and data net shares

• Give AD user read & write permissions on the following databases:

• cph

• grx_master

Usage

• API Documentation

Connect to Database server

from carepoint import Carepoint

cp = Carepoint(
    server='127.0.0.1',
    user='test_db_user',
    passwd='db_pass',
)

Perform a search for a patient with the last name Smith

res = cp.search(
    cp['Patient'],
    {'lname': 'Smith'},
)
for row in res:
    print row.fname

Perform a search for a patient with the last name Smith or Jones

res = cp.search(
    cp['Patient'],
    {'lname': ['Smith', 'Jones']},
)
for row in res:
    print row.fname

Perform a patient search, but only return the mname column

res = cp.search(
    cp['Patient'],
    {'lname': 'Smith'},
    ['mname'],
)
for row in res:
    print row.mname

Get patients modified in 2015

res = cp.search(
    cp['Patient'],
    {
        'chg_date': {
            '<=': '2015-12-31',
            '>=': '2015-01-01',
        }
    },
)
for row in res:
    print row.fname

Get image using SMB path from database

cp = Carepoint(**opts)
img_rec = cp.search(cp['FdbImg']).first()
image_file = cp.get_file(img_rec.IMAGE_PATH)
image_data = image_file.read()

Known Issues / Road Map

• More usage samples

• A decent amount of models are missing

• Create documentation of models

• Add some basic validations

• Create a column type that will retrieve file from SMB path in DB

• Better SMB support (allow ftimes, dir list, caching)

• FDB images only serve from store ID 1’s net share

• Having to pass the model to the Carepoint object is annoying, object
