API Usage Examples
Getting Observations
An example of how to get all observations for a patient. We use the API method for getting observations:
List<Obs> getObservations(List<Person> whom, List<Encounter> encounters, List<Concept> questions,
List<Concept> answers, List<PERSON_TYPE> personTypes, List<Location> locations, List<String> sort,
Integer mostRecentN, Integer obsGroupId, Date fromDate, Date toDate, boolean includeVoidedObs)
throws APIException;
To get all observations for a person:
import org.openmrs.Person;
import org.openmrs.Obs;
// Create a list with one person
List<Person> personList = new ArrayList<Person>();
personList.add(Context.getPersonService().getPerson(4562)) // using a random person ID for example
// Get all observations for person 4562 that are not voided
List<Obs> obsList = Context.getObsService().
getObservations(personList, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, false);
// obsList now contains all non-voided observations for person 4562
