Reviewable Models

Some daisyBill models undergo a review process after being created or updated. Objects can fail review if certain attributes are empty or contain invalid input, but can still be successfully created and updated as long as the hard requirements are met.

Let's take a look at this process by creating a patient:

Create Patient

All fields required for creating a patient are met:

DaisybillApi::Models::Patient.create(
  billing_provider_id: 25,
  first_name: "Beatrice",
  last_name: "Kiddo"
)

subsequent response:

{  
  "created_at":"2015-10-21T14:40:06.637-07:00",
  "updated_at":"2015-10-21T14:40:06.637-07:00",
  "review_status":"pending",
  "review_errors":[],
  "review_warnings":[],
  "id":48,
  "first_name":"Beatrice",
  "last_name":"Kiddo",
  "links":[  
    {  
      "rel":"billing_provider",
      "href":"/api/v1/billing_providers/25"
    }
  ]
}

Notice how in the response above, review_status is pending, and review_errors is empty. This patient is currently being reviewed. Now let's retrieve this patient to see if the review has completed.

patient = DaisybillApi::Models::Patient.find(48)
{  
  "created_at":"2015-10-21T14:40:06.637-07:00",
  "updated_at":"2015-10-21T14:40:06.637-07:00",
  "review_status":"failed",
  "review_errors":[  
    "Address can't be blank",
    "Gender can't be blank",
    "Date of birth can't be blank",
    "SSN can't be blank"
  ],
  "review_warnings":[],
  "id":48,
  "first_name":"Beatrice",
  "last_name":"Kiddo",
  "links":[  
    {  
      "rel":"billing_provider",
      "href":"/api/v1/billing_providers/25"
    }
  ]
}

The review process for this patient is complete. The review_status has changed from pending to failed, and review_errors shows why the patient failed review. review_warnings is empty here, but this is used to convey warnings that do not need to be addressed in order for the record to be valid.

Let's update this patient so it will pass review:

address = DaisybillApi::Models::Address.new(
  address_1: "123 Moen Dale Rd",
  city: "Santa Monica",
  state: "CA",
  zip_code: "900019988"
)

patient.address = address
patient.gender = "Female"
patient.date_of_birth = "1976-05-24"
patient.ssn = "123456789"

patient.save

After waiting for the patient to get reviewed, we may request it again to view any errors:

DaisybillApi::Models::Patient.find(48)
{  
  "created_at":"2015-10-21T14:40:06.637-07:00",
  "updated_at":"2015-10-21T14:40:06.637-07:00",
  "review_status":"passed",
  "review_errors":[],
  "review_warnings":[],
  "id":48,
  "first_name":"Beatrice",
  "last_name":"Kiddo",
  "ssn":"123456789",
  "gender": "Female",
  "date_of_birth": "1976-05-24",
  "links":[  
    {  
      "rel":"billing_provider",
      "href":"/api/v1/billing_providers/25"
    }
  ]
}

The patient has passed review, and review_errors is empty.
