EHRsuction

EHRsuction downloads all Compositions from an openEHR platform and exports them into an organized structure:

EHR_UID/composition-name.json

It also supports FLAT format using the view provided in the resources directory for Better.
(⚠️ You need to upload it first—contact Better support for guidance.)

For EHRbase, only CANONICAL export is currently supported.

• Python 3

Use

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Modify config.yaml to your desired settings.

   python3 ehrsuction.py

Side Note

The BETTER setting for CANONICAL format also works with other openEHR platforms that correctly implement the REST API.

However, EHRBASE currently returns a non-standardized response body (rows), which has already been reported.
