description: >-
  Zushooks are user-defined outbound HTTPS callbacks. Zus sends a POST to a customer-configured
  webhookUrl when a FHIR resource is created or updated that matches a subscribed filter, so
  consumers do not have to poll the FHIR Store. The customer must respond 200 OK to acknowledge.
transport: https-post
configuration: Configured per account via Zus support ticket (webhookUrl + filter + auth method).
filters:
  language: JQ
  docs: https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/
  examples:
  - Contains / does not contain a value such as a patient identifier system
  - Resource updated to a completed status (e.g. Appointments, Encounters)
  - Resource originates from a data type such as ADT or Medication Alerts
authentication:
  methods: [basic, oauth-client-credentials]
  oauth_values: [webhookUrl, clientId, clientSecret, tokenUrl, audience]
event_categories:
- Patient admitted, discharged, or transferred (ADT) from an inpatient encounter
- Medication prescribed or picked up
- New lab result available
- Any FHIR resource create/update matching the configured filter
payload:
  source: com.zushealth.zushooks
  fields: [message_id, source, time, resourceId, ownerId, upid, resourceIncluded, resource]
  note: >-
    When secured with OAuth the entire FHIR resource is included in the response body; example
    resourceId form "Encounter/<uuid>", upid identifies the human (Universal Patient Identifier).
consumer_guidance: >-
  Zus recommends directing Zushooks to a queue to enforce rate limiting and avoid overwhelming
  downstream services given variable data traffic.
