Packet Response

A Packet Response is a single Patient's submission of a Packet. It groups the individual Response records for every Form inside that packet into one submission.

Contains PHI

Like Response, a Packet Response aggregates the patient's actual answers across every form in the packet, treat it as PHI.

Lifecycle

  1. A Packet Response is created when a patient opens a sent Packet.
  2. form_index advances as the patient moves through each Form; each completed Form becomes its own Response, added to responses.
  3. Once every Form in the Packet has been submitted, is_submitted flips to true and submitted_at is stamped.
  4. Both the grouped JSON data and a single combined PDF can be pulled once the packet response is complete.
No standalone list/retrieve endpoint

Unlike other resources, Packet Response doesn't have its own list or retrieve operation. Reach it through the Responses API, each Response includes its parent packet_response, or download the combined PDF directly by ID.
