Assessment

Last updated: 24 Sep 2025

Introduction #

The Assessment model represents a clinical assessment or evaluation of a patient’s medical Condition.

Basic usage #

To get an assessment by identifier, use the get method on the Assessment model manager:

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.assessment import Assessment

assessment = Assessment.objects.get(id="b80b1cdc-2e6a-4aca-90cc-ebc02e683f35")

If you have a patient object, the assessments for a patient can be accessed with the assessments attribute on a Patient object:

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.patient import Patient

patient = Patient.objects.get(id="1eed3ea2a8d546a1b681a2a45de1d790")
assessments = patient.assessments.all()

Filtering #

Assessments can be filtered by any attribute that exists on the model.

Filtering for assessments is done with the filter method on the Assessment model manager.

By attribute #

Specify an attribute with filter to filter by that attribute:

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.assessment import Assessment, AssessmentStatus

assessments = Assessment.objects.filter(patient__id="1eed3ea2a8d546a1b681a2a45de1d790", status=AssessmentStatus.STATUS_IMPROVING)
