addIdentifierDomainAttribute

The addIdentifierDomainAttribute method allows the caller to associate with a given identifier domain an attribute. The attribute consists of a name-value pair. This functionality is useful when OpenEMPI is used to support a Record Locator Service-type EHR and then each identifier domain corresponds to a site that provides patient services so it is useful to be able to associate arbitrary attributes to an identifier domain. Those attributes can be used to provide more user-friendly information about a health care provider site or institution.

Method

The method uses the PUT HTML method.

Input

The input to the method is the Identifier Domain, attribute name and attribute value.

Output

The output is the IdentifierDomainAttribute entry if a new identifier domain attribute added or an empty document if the IdentifierDomainAttribute is known already.
