Create a Data Source

Once you are ready to ingest data, creating a data source is the first step of the pipeline.

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:

• registry (see Registry):
