Patient chart group

Last updated: 16 Oct 2025

Overview #

This effect allows developers to group items in a patient chart section. You can define multiple groups with a name, priority, and the items that belong to each group.

Currently, this is supported for the Conditions, Medications, and Detected Issues sections.

from canvas_sdk.effects.patient_chart_group import PatientChartGroup
from canvas_sdk.effects.group import Group

conditions = [{
    "id": 1,
    "codings": {
      "code": "111",
      "system": "ICD-10",
      "display": "Ophiasis",
    }
  }, {
    "id": 2,
    "codings": {
      "code": "112",
      "system": "ICD-10",
      "display": "Acute angle-closure glaucoma",
    }
}]

PatientChartGroup(items=[
  {
    "Psychiatry": Group(priority=100, items=conditions, name="Psychiatry")
  },
  {
    "General": Group(priority=200, items=conditions, name="General")
  }
])
