Result format | emtelligent Documentation

GET /v1/jobs/{id}/result returns one of two shapes, told apart by type. The API reference has the full JSON Schema of each; this page explains what the fields mean.

Questionnaire result

{
  "id": "job_8f2c1d0e9b7a6c5d4e3f2a1b",
  "type": "questionnaire",
  "questionnaire_response": { "resourceType": "QuestionnaireResponse", "...": "..." },
  "stats": { "...": "..." },
  "pipeline_version": "2026.10.12-1"
}

Field	Meaning
`id`	The job id
`type`	`questionnaire`
`questionnaire_response`	A FHIR R4 QuestionnaireResponse answering your Questionnaire; see below
`stats`	Counts for the fill; see Stats
`pipeline_version`	The API release that produced the result

The QuestionnaireResponse

Element	Content
`resourceType`	`QuestionnaireResponse`
`status`	`completed`, or `in-progress` when a required item is unanswered (`stats.required_missing` lists them)
`authored`	When the response was produced (UTC)
`questionnaire`	Your Questionnaire’s `url`, when it has one
`item`	One node per answered item, nested as in your Questionnaire. Each node has the item’s `linkId` and `text`, its `answer` list, and its answered children in `item`. Items without an answer, and groups with no answered item inside, are left out

A repeating item holds one answer per value. A repeating group occurs once per entry: several sibling nodes that share the group’s linkId.

Each answer’s value[x] follows the item’s type:

Item type	Answer
`choice`, `coding`, `open-choice`, or any item with `answerOption`s	The chosen option as given in your Questionnaire: `valueCoding` with its `system`, `code` and `display`, or the option’s own `valueString`, `valueInteger`, `valueDate` or `valueTime`
Open items (`open-choice`, `answerConstraint` `optionsOrString`) when no option fits	`valueString`: the value as the document states it
`answerConstraint` `optionsOrType` when no option fits	A value of the item’s type; for a coded item, a `valueCoding` with a `display` only, never an invented `code`
`quantity`	`valueQuantity`: `value`, plus `unit`, `system` and `code` from the item’s `questionnaire-unit` extension
`string`, `text`	`valueString`
`decimal`, `integer`	`valueDecimal`, `valueInteger`
`boolean`	`valueBoolean`
`date`, `dateTime`, `time`	`valueDate`, `valueDateTime`, `valueTime`
`url`	`valueUri`

Extensions

Answers carry emtelligent extensions alongside their value:

{
  "valueCoding": { "system": "http://loinc.org", "code": "LA6560-2", "display": "Oriented" },
  "extension": [
    { "url": "https://emtelligent.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/answer-confidence",
      "valueDecimal": 0.9 },
    { "url": "https://emtelligent.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/answer-evidence",
      "valueString": "A/O x3" }
  ]
}

Extension `url`	Value	Present on	Meaning
`https://emtelligent.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/answer-confidence`	`valueDecimal`, 0 to 1	Answers taken from the document, and calculated answers	The service’s estimate of how well the document supports the answer; see Confidence. On a calculated answer, the lowest confidence of the answers it was calculated from
`https://emtelligent.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/answer-evidence`	`valueString`	Every answer taken from the document	The verbatim quote the answer was taken from, without offsets; see Evidence
`https://emtelligent.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/answer-derivation`	`valueCode`: `calculated` or `implied`	Answers the service derived, instead of `answer-evidence`	`calculated`: a score your form defines as a sum of option weights, calculated from the answers chosen. `implied`: a yes/no control implied by an answered item it gates. See Answers the service derives

Each extension appears at most once on an answer, and only on QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer. Software that does not know them can ignore them: the answers are complete without them.

Questions result

{
  "id": "job_8f2c1d0e9b7a6c5d4e3f2a1b",
  "type": "questions",
  "answers": [ { "...": "..." } ],
  "stats": { "...": "..." },
  "pipeline_version": "2026.10.12-1"
}

answers holds one object per question, in the order you asked them:

Field	Meaning
`id`	Your question’s `id`; where you gave none, `q1`, `q2`, … by its position
`question`	The question text
`type`	`text`, `number`, `boolean`, `date` or `choice`
`status`	`answered`, `not_found` or `unmatched_option`; see Questions
`answer`	The typed answer; `null` when not found. For a `multiple` question, a list of `{answer, confidence, evidence}` objects, one per value (`[]` when not found)
`confidence`	0 to 1, when answered
`evidence`	`{quote, spans}` when answered: the verbatim quote and where it occurs in `document.text`; see Evidence

Stats

Both result types carry the same stats:

Field	Meaning
`answerable`	Items or questions that can hold an answer (not groups or display items)
`answered`	Items or questions that received at least one answer
`answer_values`	Total answers; a repeating item or `multiple` question may hold several
`unmatched_option`	Coded answers dropped because they matched none of your options
`suppressed`	Answers dropped because your form’s `enableWhen` logic disables the item
`evidence_located`	Answers whose evidence quote was found in the document
`required_missing`	linkIds of required items your form logic enables that the document does not answer. Always `[]` for a questions result
`ungrounded`	Free-text answers dropped because the document does not support them
