Episodes of Care
Group multiple related Patient Encounters into a defined treatment period, like a therapy program or injury recovery, tied to a specific diagnosis. Built entirely on Healthie's GraphQL API for organizations tracking longitudinal care and bundled payment models. Encounters linked to an episode can be reported on together for outcome tracking and reimbursement.

The problem it solves
Organizations delivering care over multiple visits, like a recovery program or chronic condition management, have no way to report on that care as a single connected treatment period rather than a series of disconnected appointments. Episodes of Care solve this by giving those related encounters a shared structure tied to a diagnosis, so outcomes and reimbursement can be tracked across the full course of care.
What's included
- Episode of Care object grouping multiple Patient Encounters under one treatment period
- Diagnosis association required to link an episode to an existing diagnosis in the system
- Provider/client access validation before an episode can be created
- Start date requirement for defining when a treatment period begins
- Full CRUD access to Episodes of Care via the GraphQL API
How it works
An API customer creates an Episode of Care through Healthie's GraphQL API by specifying a start date and linking it to an existing diagnosis; the requesting provider must already have access to the client. Once created, individual Patient Encounters can be associated with that Episode of Care, grouping them under a single treatment period. Organizations can then query Episodes of Care and their linked encounters to report on longitudinal outcomes, support bundled payment models, or exchange structured data with other systems.
Episodes of Care let organizations group multiple related Patient Encounters into a single, defined treatment period, such as an injury recovery or chronic disease management program. It's built for organizations using Healthie's GraphQL API to track longitudinal care, support bundled payment and value-based care models, or exchange structured outcome data with other systems. Each Episode of Care is created via the API and must link to an existing diagnosis and to a client the requesting provider already has access to. Because Episodes of Care are entirely API-driven, they're most useful to organizations building their own reporting or care-coordination views on top of Healthie.
