Retrieve a patient's clinical records using the Health Gorilla API

Steps

1. Authenticate to the Health Gorilla API using OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow: POST to the token endpoint with your client_id and client_secret (YOUR_KEY) to obtain a bearer access token
2. Search for the patient using the Health Gorilla patient search endpoint, supplying name, date of birth, and optionally zip code or SSN last-4 to locate the patient's Health Gorilla record
3. Initiate a data request by POSTing to the query endpoint for the desired data categories (labs, medications, imaging, clinical documents); Health Gorilla queries connected health systems and aggregates results
4. Poll the request status endpoint using the returned request ID until status indicates completion; large queries across many connected sources may take several seconds to minutes
5. Retrieve the compiled results, which are returned as FHIR R4 resources (DiagnosticReport, MedicationRequest, DocumentReference, etc.); parse and integrate into your application's data model
6. Handle partial results gracefully — some connected sources may time out or return errors; check each source's status in the response envelope and surface unavailable sources to the end user
