Concepts
An introduction to the concepts used on the Rupa platform.
Objects
In Rupa, Orders are placed by Practitioners on behalf of Patients. Orders are comprised of one of more OrderedTests, each of which corresponds to a Lab Test. Each LabTest belongs to a single LabCompany.
OrderIntents
When using our API, Orders are created using OrderIntents. OrderIntents are similar to carts in e-commerce systems: they contain one or more LabTests and can be used to create Orders.
An OrderIntent becomes an Order by directing the Practitioner to the URL given in OrderIntent.checkout_url. You'll learn more about that in Rupa Checkout.
Order lifecycle
Orders transition through multiple status after being created and before completion. The statuses below represent the normal order flow, but additional statuses can exist.
Your system can be notified of changes to a Practitioner's Order via Events sent to your webhook. You'll learn more about that in Results Syncing.
