Member

A member is a profile in the context of a project. Medical data is always linked to a member.

Corresponds to FHIR Patient or FHIR Practitioner.

Multiple members for the same user/project​

One users may have multiple members in the same project. This may happen when creating placeholder profiles or when someone has multiple roles.

Example: a pharmacist that is also a patient

  1. User: name=Jane
    1. Member: name=Jane Phyllis role=patient phone=<personal-phone>
    2. Member: name=Pharmacy Phyllis role=caregiver phone=<work-phone>

A user is not a member​

When a user joins a project, a member profile is created. This member may have a different name and email address than the user.

  • The user profile contains the minimal amount of data. The email address must be verified for some usecases.
  • The member profile data can be freely edited by the person and is usually not verified.

Placeholder profiles​

Administrators can create as many members as they wish. This is useful for testing. Another usecase is preparing a member profile for which you can then send a magic link which the patient/caregiver can use to claim their profile.

Example: preparing a care team situation

  1. User: name=Thomas
    • Member: name=Administrator role=admin
    • Member: name=Dr. Thomas role=caregiver
    • Member: name=Pharmacist Phyllis role=caregiver
    • Member: name=Thomas Example role=patient
      • Careteam: Mental coaching
        • Participant: Dr. Thomas
        • Participant: Pharmacist Phyllis

If Thomas now sends a magic link to Jane Phyllis and creates an account and accepts the invite, we get this:

  1. User: name=Jane
    • Member: name=Pharmacist Phyllis role=caregiver
  2. User: name=Thomas
    • Member: name=Administrator role=admin
    • Member: name=Dr. Thomas role=caregiver
    • Member: name=Thomas Example role=patient
      • Careteam: Mental coaching
        • Participant: Dr. Thomas
        • Participant: Pharmacist Phyllis

Note that placeholder profiles are transferable between users. Administrators can transfer members manually, but the idea is that people claim their member using a magic link.
