Data sources offer a synchronization mechanism between your data and the Clinia infrastructure.
The only current Synchronization mechanism available out-of-the-box is via API push.
Considerations
- Each one of the data sources (Database, File, API, ...), and schema version that you want to send to Clinia will require its own Data Source configuration.
- Choose a unique key for your new data source to avoid conflict with existing data sources, and specify its type.
- Clinia's infrastructure only supports the API push synchronization method out-of-the-box, where your systems notify new or modified records to Clinia.
- Each data source also needs to be configured with data profiles (See Managing Profiles). Those are used to define the schema of the records that will be ingested (ex: Patient Profile, Health Facility, Provider Profile,...).
The currently available types of data sources are:
