The best seems to use the LimeSUrvey API , no ?

It sounds to me like gert wants to access a non-LimeSurvey DB. The API is only for LimeSurvey.

I kno nmy english is not very good (far far far from good ).

But it's not an externbal tool who want to have some information from LimeSurvey ?

This process will be implemented therefor we need a way to communicate with LimeSurvey concerning certain answers or certain statusses of a survey which invoke certain business events.

Depends on the view of how the update of the medical records in the external database should work.
Push or Pull. A direct SQLquery from Limesurvey (Push) wouldn't be the preferred way in terms of security. But the Limesurvey API won't help in this case.
A pull from the medical database (or an external tool) might work via the Limesurvey API.
Depends on what gert needs and can use.

For the moment I'm looking into the possibility to ETL Survey data to our own datamodel so we can have the needed flexiblity to plugin an existing business process
