Opal Subrecords

Opal Subrecords are models that relate to either Patients or Episodes, and inherit from base classes opal.models.PatientSubrecord or opal.models.EpisodeSubrecord

They themselves inherit from the mixins opal.models.ToDictMixin, opal.models.UpdateFromDict

Properties

Subrecord._angular_service

Name of the Angular service you would like to use to customise the initialization of this subrecord in the javascript layer.


class Demographics(PatientSubrecord):
    _angular_service = 'Demographics'

Subrecord._icon

String that provides the name of the icon to use for forms, column headings etc.

class Demographics(PatientSubrecord):
    _icon = 'fa fa-user'

Subrecord._is_singleton

Boolean that determines whether this subrecord is a singleton. There may only be one of each singleton Subrecord, which is created whth the parent.

class Demographics(PatientSubrecord):
    _is_singleton = True

For this case, when a Patient is created, an empty Demographics instance will automatically be created.

Subrecord._list_limit

Integer to indicate the maximum number of entries to display in list view for this model. Useful for record types where many entries will accrue, or where display is particularly verbose.

class BloodPressureReading(EpisodeSubrecord):
    _list_limit = 3

Subrecord._sort

Name of the field by which we want to sort these records when displaying.

class Antimicrobial(EpisodeSubrecord):
    _sort = 'start_date'

Subrecord._title

String we would like to use for user-facing display of this record type.

class Antimicrobial(EpisodeSubrecord):
    _title = 'Abx'

Subrecord._clonable

A Boolean that is True by default used by opal.views.EpisodeCopyToCategoryView to determine if instances of this record should be copied across.

class Antimicrobial(EpisodeSubrecord):
    _clonable = 'False'

Subrecord._exclude_from_extract

Boolean to specify that this subrecord should be excluded from any standard data extract. This implicitly defaults to False.

class Antimicrobial(EpisodeSubrecord):
    _exclude_from_extract = 'Abx'

Subrecord.pid_fields

An iterable of strings that correspond to fieldnames that contain Patient Identifiable Data (PID).

This is used when creating data extracts to exclude PID from e.g. CSV downloads.

Subrecord.bulk_update_from_dicts()

Subrecord Mixins

TrackedModel

A Tracked Model automatically has created, created_by, updated, updated_by and these are only updated when used via the api

ExternallySourcedModel

Often we want data to be sourced from external systems, this mixin adds in the fields external_system and external_identifier to allow us to track where they come from and how they are referenced by that system.

These fields are then often used in forms to make the data read only
