Patients List by Provider

[SLeon]

We received this question on another forum and I am answering it here for better visibility.

Does the GET Patients (multiple) endpoint in the new API allow a Get of all Patients attached to a Primary Provider. In the Schema details for 21.1 the Patients section has a PriProv field, but when I did a GET Patients with PriProv as a key, I got an error that 'PriProv' is not a valid parameter. Any help on how to retrieve a full list of patients for a provider?

Patients GET (multiple) does not currently support searching by provider. We can easily add provider to the list search parameters for the Patients GET Simple method. This has been added to our development list.

Great! Thanks for adding it to the dev list. What's the general cadence of releases from the development team?

Thanks again!

Cadence is very fast at the moment. We just added another engineer to this area. I would like to get the turnaround for most requests down to a day or two, but we're not quite meeting that pace yet.

Patients GET Simple now supports filtering by the PriProv field. This will be available in the next beta update (version 21.3.16). Details can be found in our updated documentation (https://www.opendental.com/resources/OpenDentalAPI.pdf).
