Patient Census Export

The ER census export needed for a FHIR integration.

To support a FHIR integration, we need a census of the emergency room. This can be in the format of a full ADT feed, or it can be a simple export provided every 5-15 minutes.

The output should contain the following data elements:

The medical record number used to identify the patient within your system.

mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss
