Care flows can only be started for patients - so you need a patient resource or patient profile as a prerequisite before you can start a care flow.
Patients can be created through:
the Awell Care user interface, which is referred to as manual patient creation
the Awell Orchestration API, which is referred to as integrated patient creation
Manual Patient Creation
Navigate to the Patient list of Awell Care
Click on 'Create patient' in the right upper corner.
Fill out the mandatory fields of the patient profile (first name, last name, date of birth, sex and Email)
Click 'Create patient' at the bottom of the page to complete the process.
→ You'll land on the Patient profile page of your newly created patient. Read up here on how to Start a care flow 🎉!
Integrated Patient Creation
Use the createPatient mutation of the Awell Orchestration API to create new patients on the Awell platform.
👀 tip: creation of anonymous patients is supported through the API.
