Status

The status-endpoint returns information whether the patient has registered critical health information or not, and a timestamp in UTC time when the information was last changed. A last changed timestamp for each type of critical information is also returned.

The response also contains the privacy settings the patient may have set. If the patient has set a kjernejournal reservation no critical information for the patient exists in kjernejournal. If the patient has set a restriction for access to kjernejournal or specifically for critical information an extra consent must be given for access.

Note that we prefer that clients requests the status-endpoint first for each session in order to determine whether the patient has set restriction or reservation. This will improve the user experience as extra consent must be given for access in that case. See the hit-access-basis header for how to set consent.

Authorization

The endpoint requires either a machin-to-machine token or a HelseID user token for authentication. The EPJ can use a machine-to-machine token to check if the patient has critical information and if there has been updates without requiring the user to log in with HelseID.

Note that when a machine-to-machine token is used there are fewer required headers than with a user token.

When a user token is used, the response contains a flag if the users HPR number is blocked or not (see below). This information is not available if a machine-to-machine token is used since it contains no user data.

Also when a user token is used all the required headers must be set as usual. The "hit-access-basis" header can in this case always be set to UNNTAK. Note that we do not do any audit logging for requests to the /status endpoint.
