The Patient Form Request Object - Elation Help Center

This object represents a patient form request, which is an association between a Patient and a set of PatientForm.
You must first create the PatientForm before you can associate them to a PatientFormRequest. A PatientFormRequest
can be Read, Created, and Updated.

When modifying via a PUT request, notification_date is the only field that can be changed.
