Organization

Last updated: 24 Sep 2025

Introduction #

The Organization model represents the overall Organization in a Canvas EMR instance. An Organization can have multiple related Practice Locations.

Basic usage #

Canvas instances can contain only a single Organization entry. To retrieve the Organization entry, you can either query by the organization’s name:

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.organization import Organization

organization = Organization.objects.get(full_name="Medical Organization")

Or since there will only be one Organization in an instance, it can also be fetched by using the first method:

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.organization import Organization

organization = Organization.objects.first()
