Containers

The healthchain.io.containers module provides FHIR-native containers for healthcare data processing. These containers handle the complexities of clinical data formats while providing a clean Python interface for pipelines.

Available Containers

Container	Purpose	Use Cases
Document	Clinical text + FHIR resources	Clinical notes, discharge summaries, CDS workflows

BaseDocument 📦

BaseDocument is the base container that Document inherits from. It holds the original input in data, exposes a text view in text, and provides serialization helpers that skip private (_-prefixed) attributes.

from healthchain.io.containers import BaseDocument

doc = BaseDocument("Some data")

# Convert to dictionary and JSON
data_dict = doc.to_dict()
data_json = doc.to_json()
