Route status

Needs publication review

The endpoint contract is visible, but QuickRCM has not approved it yet for normal production API use.

Publication status

Needs publication review

Requires product, security/compliance, tenancy, side-effect, or module-owner approval before production public API use. Also requires E2 side-effect policy and E7 credential, webhook, and vendor trust policy before production recipes, SDK inclusion, or try-out access.

Authentication

Bearer API key declared

OpenAPI declares bearer API-key security for this operation.

Tenant context

API-key organization

API-key organization context is authoritative; request organizationId is not a public tenant selector.

Side-effect summary

External or credentialed

May touch credentials, webhooks, SFTP, EHRs, payers, portals, clearinghouses, or other external systems.

Source artifact

OpenAPI 3.1.0; API 1.0.0.

When to use this endpoint

Use this page as an internal baseline for the integrations contract generated for PUT /api/v1/ehr/appointments/{appointmentId}/status. External use still depends on route classification, release evidence, and endpoint-specific side-effect approval.

What this does now

Shows the generated OpenAPI shape for PUT /api/v1/ehr/appointments/{appointmentId}/status, but keeps the route out of ordinary production API positioning until review is complete.

What this does not do

Does not prove external GA readiness, SDK readiness, live production execution, or complete module behavior. Mutating behavior still needs side-effect and retry evidence.

Not public from this page

Do not publish this endpoint as an ordinary developer API until its unresolved decisions are closed.

Headers and tenancy

Current headers and tenant authority. Target headers stay labeled as future until OpenAPI and release evidence declare them.

Header	Required	Current status	Notes
Authorization	Yes	Current	Bearer <QUICKRCM_API_KEY>. OpenAPI security: bearerAuth.
Idempotency-Key	No	Target/future	Do not claim universal header support until E3 and OpenAPI metadata exist.
X-Request-Id	No	Target/future	Use for support correlation only after approved; not declared as a standard OpenAPI header today.

Required scopes

Unclassified until E6 route metadata exists; do not infer scopes from route names.

Wrong-org behavior

Tenant-safe 404, empty list, or 403 is endpoint-specific and remains an evidence gap until E1 is closed.

Actor and audit

No public actor, audit, or correlation contract is published from OpenAPI alone.

Idempotency and retries

Retry behavior is documented conservatively because universal idempotency headers are not declared.

Topic	Status	Guidance
Current idempotency	No idempotency mechanism is declared.	Do not retry blindly. Check resource, status, batch, or job state before repeating the request.
Universal header	Not declared	Do not document universal Idempotency-Key support until OpenAPI and E3 evidence declare it.
Conflict behavior	Unresolved	Same-key changed-payload, in-flight retry, fingerprint scope, and TTL behavior remain endpoint-specific evidence gaps.

Async jobs and polling

Queued work is accepted work, not proof of completed workflow execution.

Topic	Status	Guidance
Immediate response	No 202 response declared	OpenAPI does not declare HTTP 202 for this operation.
Polling and terminal states	Endpoint-specific	Use only operation-specific status endpoints visible in OpenAPI; generic job behavior, cancellation, retries, and retention are unresolved.
Later side effects	Not proven	Do not infer background execution beyond the documented response.

Files and artifacts

File-like routes need content-class, ownership, scanning, retention, and URL policy evidence before public recipes.

Topic	Status	Guidance
Content class	No file/artifact class inferred	OpenAPI text does not indicate file or artifact handling for this endpoint.
Ownership and storage keys	Not applicable unless a file field is present	Tenant ownership must be proven before retrieval or upload docs. Never expose storage keys as public identifiers.
URLs, scanning, and retention	Unresolved unless endpoint-specific evidence exists	Short-lived URLs, MIME limits, checksums, scanner status, retention, expiration, and legal hold behavior are not implied by OpenAPI examples.

Publication warnings

This endpoint needs explicit product, security/compliance, tenancy, or side-effect approval before publication.
Universal Idempotency-Key header support is not declared; retry only after checking endpoint-specific state.
External or credentialed behavior needs vendor trust, credential, webhook, and callback evidence before publication.

EHR public API.

The Electronic Health Record (EHR) public API exposes organization-scoped QuickRCM patient, appointment, patient-insurance, and appointment eligibility queueing endpoints. These endpoints are local QuickRCM API wrappers: patient, appointment, and insurance writes persist local database records; bulk patient import accepts inline JSON and stays database-only; and appointment eligibility creates a queued local eligibility-check record with `queueOnly: true` instead of contacting a payer, clearinghouse, or external EHR synchronously. Use these endpoints with a tenant-scoped bearer API key. The API key selects the organization; callers should not send `organizationId` as a tenant selector. Lookup/list endpoints require `ehr:read` or `ehr:write`, while create/update/queue endpoints require `ehr:write`. organizationId`. Public responses do not return address JSON, contact JSON, raw EHR payloads, raw payer payloads, raw EDI, credentials, transcripts, uploaded file contents, or other sensitive payloads. Patient names, dates of birth, Medical Record Numbers (MRNs), member identifiers, policy numbers, and contact details are Protected Health Information (PHI) or sensitive coverage data and should be logged only in redacted form. Patient matching behavior differs by endpoint. `findEhrPatientByDemographics` is a narrow lookup by exact trimmed first name, exact trimmed last name, and date-of-birth day. Patient create and bulk create use duplicate-detection helpers that can match same-organization demographics case-insensitively and also consider Medical Record Number (MRN) when supplied.

What this endpoint does

Use case

Use this endpoint for lightweight status transitions from scheduling, check-in, cancellation, or operational workflow systems when no other appointment fields need to change.

Before calling

Authenticate with an API key that has `ehr:write`. Use the QuickRCM appointment ID and a non-empty status string accepted by the local workflow.

Request and response behavior

Request guidance

`appointmentId` is required in the path and `status` is required in the body. This endpoint does not accept start/end time, patient, or appointment type changes.

`status` is trimmed and capped at 60 characters.
Use the full appointment update endpoint when changing time, patient, or appointment type.
Do not use status text to store clinical notes or PHI-heavy free text.

Response semantics

A 200 response returns the updated appointment summary. The handler may run internal pre-registration prevention checks after a status update, but the public response remains appointment state only.

The response includes the full public appointment summary after the status update.
No external EHR confirmation is included.
No prevention work item details are returned.

Errors and retries

Treat 400 as invalid status input, 401/403 as credential or tenant authorization issues, 404 as appointment not found in the authenticated organization, and 429 as rate limiting.

404 means the appointment was not found within the authenticated organization.
400 can indicate an empty status.
Use backoff for 429 or transient 5xx responses.

Template boundary before examples

The route class, authentication state, tenancy rule, side-effect mode, idempotency status, async behavior, file policy, warnings, links, and evidence above are part of the endpoint contract. Treat generated examples below as internal baseline aids until release evidence closes.
