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
