Summary

Add the get_block_data and insert_matched_patient functions to a new module, data_access.py for the new schema.

Acceptance Criteria

• Implementations of the above functions
• Unit tests for the above functions to show it works as expected

Details / Tasks

No need to use the existing function signatures for the reimplementation, as there are some readability issues with passing nested lists; going forward, use these signatures

def get_block_data(
    session: orm.Session, 
    data: typing.Dict,
    algo_config: typing.List[typing.Dict],
) -> typing.List[Patient]:
    pass

def insert_matched_patient(
    session: orm.Session,
    data: typing.Dict,
    algo_config: typing.List[typing.Dict],
    person_id: typing.Optional[int],
    external_person_id: typing.Optional[str],
    commit: bool = True,
) -> Patient:
    pass

Notes / Comments

When inserting a patient, abstract the functions necessary for creating the patient row along with creating new blocking keys. Its likely with this design that we'll need a way to generate new blocking keys when an algorithm changes, so keeping that functionality separate will open doors for future expansion.
