Special Search Parameters

The search parameters outlined above are straightforward for basic scenarios but have limitations in handling complex combination queries. To enhance these capabilities, employing the special search parameters _filter is recommended.

Search for locations with managing organization

The FHIR path for the managing organization is Location.managingOrganization, but the search parameter is organization. For example, to search for all locations assoicated with an managingOrganization has ID Hospital should write as:

GET [base]/Location?organization=Organization/Hospital

You can also search for locations associated with the managing organizations by name or other criteria. For example, to search for all locations associated with an organization with the name of Hartford General Hospital:

GET [base]/Location?organization:Organization.name=Hartford General Hospital

You can add additional search criteria to further narrow down your search results. For example, to search for all locations associated with the Hartford General Hospital organization that have a status of active:

GET [base]/Location?organization:Organization.name=Hartford General Hospital&status=active

Including other resources in search result

You can search for all Locations and their associated related resources (in this case, organization) which are managering some of locations. The _include parameter to indicate that the managingOrganization resources be included in the result.

GET [base]//Location?_include=Location:organization
