Medication Reconciliation Software: API Building Blocks

Break reconciliation into collection, normalization, comparison, and human review.

Collect without assuming

Collect without assuming is the first design decision for medication reconciliation API. Break reconciliation into collection, normalization, comparison, and human review. Write the boundary down before choosing endpoints or drawing clinical-looking UI so reviewers can test the actual promise.

Normalize visibly

For medication reconciliation API, normalize visibly should remain observable rather than becoming hidden adapter behavior. Give resolution, lookup, and interpretation separate states, then decide which failures a user may retry.

Screen bounded pairs

Screen bounded pairs needs an operational test, not only a happy-path example. Add a bounded timeout, stable error handling, request IDs, privacy-safe logging, and a fixture that proves the medication reconciliation API workflow fails closed.
