Class PatientIdentifier

java.lang.Object

org.openmrs.BaseOpenmrsObject

org.openmrs.BaseOpenmrsData

org.openmrs.PatientIdentifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<PatientIdentifier>, Auditable, OpenmrsData, OpenmrsObject, Voidable

public class PatientIdentifier
extends BaseOpenmrsData
implements Serializable, Comparable<PatientIdentifier>

A Patient can have zero to n identifying PatientIdentifier(s). PatientIdentifiers are anything from medical record numbers, to social security numbers, to driver's licenses. The type of identifier is defined by the PatientIdentifierType. A PatientIdentifier also contains a Location.

Constructor Detail

PatientIdentifier

public PatientIdentifier()

default constructor

PatientIdentifier

public PatientIdentifier(String identifier,
                         PatientIdentifierType type,
                         Location location)

Convenience constructor for creating a basic identifier

Parameters:

identifier - String identifier

type - PatientIdentifierType

location - Location of the identifier

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares two objects for similarity

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj -

Returns:

boolean true/false whether or not they are the same objects

Should:

not fail when patient and identifier and type are null, return true if patient identifier ids are same, return false if one patient identifier id is null, return true if comparing same object with null ids

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

equalsContent

public boolean equalsContent(PatientIdentifier otherIdentifier)

Compares this PatientIdentifier object to the given otherIdentifier. This method differs from equals(Object) in that this method compares the inner fields of each identifier for equality. Note: Null/empty fields on otherIdentifier /will not/ cause a false value to be returned

Parameters:

otherIdentifier - PatientiIdentifier with which to compare

Returns:

boolean true/false whether or not they are the same names

getIdentifier

public String getIdentifier()

Returns:

Returns the identifier.

setIdentifier

public void setIdentifier(String identifier)

Parameters:

identifier - The identifier to set.

getIdentifierType

public PatientIdentifierType getIdentifierType()

Returns:

Returns the identifierType.

setIdentifierType

public void setIdentifierType(PatientIdentifierType identifierType)

Parameters:

identifierType - The identifierType to set.

getLocation

public Location getLocation()

Returns:

Returns the location.

setLocation

public void setLocation(Location location)

Parameters:

location - The location to set.

getPatient

public Patient getPatient()

Returns:

Returns the patient.

setPatient

public void setPatient(Patient patient)

Parameters:

patient - The patient to set.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getPreferred

public Boolean getPreferred()

Returns:

Returns the preferred.

setPreferred

public void setPreferred(Boolean preferred)

Parameters:

preferred - The preferred to set.

isPreferred

public Boolean isPreferred()

Returns:

the preferred status

compareTo

public int compareTo(PatientIdentifier other)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<PatientIdentifier>

See Also:

Comparable.compareTo(java.lang.Object)

getId

public Integer getId()

Specified by:

getId in interface OpenmrsObject

Returns:

id - The unique Identifier for the object

Since:

1.5

See Also:

OpenmrsObject.getId()

setId

Specified by:

setId in interface OpenmrsObject

Parameters:

id - - The unique Identifier for the object

getPatientIdentifierId

public Integer getPatientIdentifierId()

Returns:

the patientIdentifierId

Since:

1.5

setPatientIdentifierId

public void setPatientIdentifierId(Integer patientIdentifierId)

Parameters:

patientIdentifierId - the patientIdentifierId to set

Since:
