Building a Polypharmacy API Workflow
Evaluate n-choose-2 pairs predictably and show users what was actually checked.
Bound list size
Bound list size is the first design decision for polypharmacy API. Evaluate n-choose-2 pairs predictably and show users what was actually checked. Write the boundary down before choosing endpoints or drawing clinical-looking UI so reviewers can test the actual promise.
Deduplicate medication inputs
For polypharmacy API, deduplicate medication inputs should remain observable rather than becoming hidden adapter behavior. Give resolution, lookup, and interpretation separate states, then decide which failures a user may retry.
Return pair counts
Return pair counts 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 polypharmacy API workflow fails closed.
