The bulk-submit-data operation sends a bulk import request based on the data requirements of a FHIR Measure. This operation is modeled off the existing draft of the Bulk Data Import Ping and Pull Approach.

Operation Request Body

The request body for this operation is a FHIR Parameters Resource. The body SHALL include a FHIR MeasureReport Resource of type data-collection that references a measure by canonical URL. Additionally, the FHIR Parameters resource SHALL include the URL of a Data Provider, as defined in the Bulk Data Import Ping and Pull Approach. The Data Provider SHALL support $export. It is assumed that the data-of-interest for the measure referenced in the MeasureReport lives on the Data Provider server.

Request Flow

The Data Consumer server SHALL support invocation of the bulk submit-data operation using the FHIR Asynchronous Request Pattern via a POST request containing the FHIR Parameters Resource described above. To avoid overloading the standard $submit-data operation, the bulk submit-data operation will send a POST request to the $bulk-submit-data endpoint.

When kicking off the request, if the “prefer”: “respond-async” header is provided, the bulk submit-data operation will calculate the data requirements for the measure-of-interest. The Data Consumer will kick off an $export request to the Data Provider. Then, the data exported from the Data Provider is uploaded to the system.

Required header(s):

"prefer": "respond-async"

Specifies whether the response is immediate or asynchronous.

Examples

Request: Submit data of interest for FHIR Measure with "test-measure" identifier from the Data Provider http://example.com/

POST [base]/Measure/test-measure/$bulk-submit-data

Parameters

UseNameCardinalityTypeBindingDocumentation
INmeasureReport1..*MeasureReport

The measure report that is being submitted

INexportType0..1code

(Optional) String of static or dynamic. Defaults to dynamic if omitted.

If the value is dynamic, the Data Consumer will issue a POST request to the exportUrl to obtain a dataset from the Data Provider.

If the value is static, the Data Consumer will issue a GET request to the exportUrl to retrieve a Bulk Data manifest file with the location of the Bulk Data files.

INexportUrl1..1url

The absolute URL of the bulk export endpoint of a Data Provider (if the exportType parameter is dynamic) OR the location of a FHIR Bulk Data Export manifest file (if the exportType parameter is static)

IN_type0..*string

(Optional) Restrict the data exported to only be specific FHIR resource types. See the bulk data $export spec for more information on '_type'

INuseTypeFilters0..1boolean

(Optional) If enabled, data exported by the 'exportUrl' system will be filtered according to the data requirements of the Measure. Requires support of the _typeFilter experimental parameter in the export server. See the bulk data $export spec for more information on '_typeFilter'
