# Cardinal Prescription React Component 🇧🇪

This is a **Belgian-specific** React library for healthcare professionals to **manage electronic prescriptions**.  
It integrates iCure's APIs —  `@icure/be-fhc-lite-api`, `@icure/api`, and `@icure/medication-sdk` — to
streamline:

- Practitioner certificate management
- Medication search
- Electronic prescription creation & editing
- Prescription overview & sending
- Printing of prescriptions

**This component is designed for integration with**
**[Belgium’s SAM platform](https://www.samportal.be/nl/sam/documentation)**
and can easily be embedded into other medical software projects as a drop-in feature for prescription management.

## About iCure and Cardinal

![iCure logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/icure/cardinal-prescription-angular/main/public/assets/icure.svg)

[iCure](https://icure.com/en/) is the company that provides a **secure, end-to-end encrypted backend-as-a-service** for
Health-Tech, allowing companies to build fully compliant medical solutions faster.

![Cardinal logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/icure/cardinal-prescription-angular/main/public/assets/cardinal.svg)

[Cardinal](https://cardinalsdk.com/en) is iCure’s backend platform that provides data management, security, and
interoperability features. *In this project, we do not use the Cardinal backend directly — we integrate with iCure's
public API to access its SAM and Free Health Connector (FHC) features.*

[Free Health Connector (FHC)](https://icure.com/en/products/cardinal-free-health-connector/)
The Cardinal Free Health Connector (FHC) is iCure’s open-source implementation of Belgium’s eHealth infrastructure. It
enables secure, standards-based connections to government and regional healthcare systems

## Features

- Designed specifically for Belgian healthcare professionals
- Practitioner certificate upload & verification
- Medication search powered by iCure's SAM SDK
- Create, edit, list, send, and print prescriptions
- Structured and unstructured posology support
- Interacts with Recip-e to send prescriptions
- Ready to integrate into medical apps
- Secure certificate storage in browser
- Fully internationalized (French, Dutch, German, English)

## Technologies

- **React 18+**
- **iCure SDKs** (`@icure/be-fhc-lite-api`, `@icure/api`, `@icure/medication-sdk`)
- **TypeScript**
- **React Hook Form** for forms
- **Styled-components** for UI styling
- **UUID** for unique identifiers
- **jsBarcode** for barcode generation

## Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

- **Node.js v16+** and **Yarn** or **npm** installed
- A **valid Belgian practitioner certificate file** to load into the app
- **Practitioner credentials** for iCure authentication (generated in your app using `@icure/cardinal-sdk` or via iCure
  Cockpit for test purposes):
    - [Create a HCP in Cockpit](https://docs.icure.com/cockpit/how-to/how-to-manage-hcp#creating-an-hcp)
    - [Generate the authentication token for the HCP](https://docs.icure.com/cockpit/how-to/how-to-manage-hcp#generating-an-authentication-token)
- **Patient** and **healthcare professional** information to populate prescriptions
- A valid **Free Health Connector URL**, which depends on the certificate you use: for the acceptance certificate, use `https://fhcacc.icure.cloud`, and for the production certificate, use `https://fhcprd.icure.cloud`. 
- A valid **iCure URL** that will be used for SAM. You should use: `https://api.icure.cloud`.
- **Vendor** and **SamPackage**

## Available APIs

Alongside React components, the library exports key APIs for working directly with CardinalSDK and Free Health
Connector (FHC) for authentication,
and utility logic.

### Work with SAM SDK

### CardinalBeSam initialization

#### Initialize the CardinalBeSam SDK by creating an instance that will be passed to other services.

```html
import { IccBesamv2Api, SamVersion, EnsembleAuthenticationProvider, NoAuthenticationProvider, IccAuthApi } from '@icure/api'

const cardinalBeSamInstance: IccBesamv2Api = new IccBesamv2Api(
  ICURE_URL,
  {},
  new EnsembleAuthenticationProvider(
    new IccAuthApi(
      ICURE_URL, 
      {}, 
      new NoAuthenticationProvider()
    ), 
    practitionerCredentials.username, 
    practitionerCredentials.password
  ),
)
setCardinalBeSamInstance(cardinalBeSamInstance)
```

#### Fetch the current SAM version:

```html
import { fetchSamVersion } from '@icure/cardinal-prescription-be-react'

const samVersion = await fetchSamVersion(cardinalBeSamAInstance)
// cardinalBeSamAInstance is an instance of CardinalBeSamApi.sam (see demo)
```

### Set the active language

Set the library’s language (for UI and errors):

```html
import { cardinalLanguage } from '@icure/cardinal-prescription-be-react'

// Available: 'en', 'fr', 'nl', 'de'
cardinalLanguage.setLanguage('fr')
const currentLang = cardinalLanguage.getCurrentLanguage()
```

### Certificate management

#### Load and decrypt practitioner certificate information from browser storage:

```html
import { loadCertificateInformation } from '@icure/cardinal-prescription-be-react'

const result = await loadCertificateInformation(hcpSsin)
if (result) {
setCertificateUploaded(!!res)
}
```

#### Upload and encrypt a new certificate:

```html
import { uploadAndEncryptCertificate } from '@icure/cardinal-prescription-be-react'

await uploadAndEncryptCertificate(hcpSsin, passphrase, certificateArrayBuffer)
```

#### Delete a stored certificate:

```html
import { deleteCertificate } from '@icure/cardinal-prescription-be-react'

await deleteCertificate(hcpSsin)
```

#### Validate a decrypted certificate:

```html
import { validateDecryptedCertificate } from '@icure/cardinal-prescription-be-react'

const validation = await validateDecryptedCertificate(hcp, passphrase, FHC_URL)
if (validation.status) {
// Certificate is valid
} else {
// validation.error contains error details (per language)
}
```

### Prescription APIs

#### Send a prescription (“Recip-e”):

```html
import { sendRecipe } from '@icure/cardinal-prescription-be-react'

const result = await sendRecipe(
{
vendor,                   // { vendorName, vendorEmail, vendorPhone }
samPackage,               // { packageName, packageVersion }
},
samVersion,               // Fetched from SAM SDK
hcp,                      // Healthcare professional object
patient,                  // Patient object
prescribedMedication,     // Medication details
passphrase                // Certificate passphrase
FHC_URL                   // Free health connector url
)
// result[0]?.rid contains the prescription RID if successful
```

## SAM and Recip-e requirements

When the prescriber selects a medication, this application integrates with the SAMv2 database to provide all up-to-date
metadata. This includes:

* Links to the leaflet & SPC.
* Special status indicators:

    * Black triangle (additional monitoring).
    * RMA material links.
    * DHPC communications.
    * Temporary supply problems.
    * End of commercialization or future commercialization.
    * VMP group information and switch statuses.
    * Conditions of delivery/prescription and risk minimization messages.
    * Reimbursement details (chapters, categories, extra reimbursement for youth contraception).

More information is available on the [SAM portal](https://www.samportal.be/nl/sam/documentation).
