visit_type

Parameter describing the the setting of care in which care has taken place.

Usability Options:

• Selected visit_type parameter options may be leveraged in the CareQuery API as
  • A string: visit_type = "outpatient visit"
  • A list of strings for OR logic: visit_type = ["outpatient visit", "home visit"]
  • List of lists of strings for AND logic: visit_type = [["outpatient visit"], ["home visit"]]

Help within CareQuery API:

Python

# import package
from care_query.care_query import CareQuery

# instantiate and connect
cq = CareQuery(email = "your-email", 
               token = "your-api-token")

# search parameter options available 
print(cq.glossary.list_options(parameter = "visit_type"))
