OperationDefinition: Fetch Patient Record

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/build/OperationDefinition/Patient-everything Version: 0.1.0
Standards status: Trial-use Draft as of 2021-01-05 Maturity Level: 5 Computable Name: Everything

This operation is used to return all the information related to one or more patients described in the resource or context on which this operation is invoked. The response is a bundle of type "searchset". At a minimum, the patient resource(s) itself is returned, along with any other resources that the server has that are related to the patient(s), and that are available for the given user. The server also returns whatever resources are needed to support the records - e.g. linked practitioners, medications, locations, organizations etc.

The intended use for this operation is to provide a patient with access to their entire record (e.g. "Blue Button"), or for provider or other user to perform a bulk data download. The server SHOULD return at least all resources that it has that are in the patient compartment for the identified patient(s), and any resource referenced from those, including binaries and attachments. The server SHOULD resolve version-specific references by returning the explicitly named version. Implementation guides may make additional rules about how much information that is returned.

Parameters

UseNameScopeCardinalityTypeBindingDocumentation
INstart0..1date

The date range relates to care dates, not record currency dates - e.g. all records relating to care provided in a certain date range. If no start date is provided, all records prior to the end date are in scope.

INend0..1date

The date range relates to care dates, not record currency dates - e.g. all records relating to care provided in a certain date range. If no end date is provided, all records subsequent to the start date are in scope.

IN_since0..1instant

Resources updated after this period will be included in the response. The intent of this parameter is to allow a client to request only records that have changed since the last request, based on either the return header time, or or (for asynchronous use), the transaction time

IN_type0..*code

One or more parameters, each containing one or more comma-delimited FHIR resource types to include in the return resources. In the absence of any specified types, the server returns all resource types

IN_count0..1integer

See discussion below on the utility of paging through the results of the $everything operation

OUTreturn1..1Bundle

The bundle type is "searchset"
