Summary of System-wide Interactions

Capabilities by Resource/Profile

Summary

The summary table lists the resources that are part of this configuration, and for each resource it lists:

  • The relevant profiles (if any)
  • The interactions supported by each resource (Read, Search, Update, and Create, are always shown, while VRead, Patch, Delete, History on Instance, or History on Type are only present if at least one of the resources has support for them.
  • The required, recommended, and some optional search parameters (if any).
  • The linked resources enabled for _include
  • The other resources enabled for _revinclude
  • The operations on the resource (if any)

Documentation

Client applications should be prepared to encounter codes they do not recognize and handle the records accordingly. Servers SHOULD populate Condition.code.coding.display and/or Condition.code.text so that clients can always at least display the condition even if they do not know the codes that are used. Clients should be careful making use of the code search parameter given that the codes used vary so much.

Safety Issues:

  • Clients SHALL not treat all conditions as if they are part of the patient's current problem list
    • Note that some Condition resources may not have these status codes - this is usually due to poor record keeping reflected in legacy data
    • Servers SHOULD avoid leaving these status codes missing
  • Clients SHALL pay attention to the clinicalStatus and verificationStatus and display and process them correctly
  • Clients SHALL still work safely when the server does not support all the search parameters listed here.

Documentation

The MedicationStatement and MedicationRequest resources can represent a medication, using an external reference to a Medication resource. If an external Medication Resource is used in a MedicationStatement or a MedicationRequest, then the READ and SEARCH Criteria SHALL be supported.

Resource Conformance: SHOULD MedicationRequest

Core FHIR Resource
MedicationRequest
Reference Policy

Interaction summary
  • SHALLsupport read, search-type.

Documentation

Clients SHALL query for both MedicationStatement and MedicationRequest when fetching patient Medication information.

The MedicationRequest resources can represent a medication using either a code or refer to the Medication resource. When referencing Medication, the resource may be contained or an external resource. The server application MAY choose any one way or more than one method, but if an external reference to Medication is used, the server SHALL support the _include parameter for searching this element. The client application SHALL support all methods. For example, A server SHALL be capable of returning all medications for a patient using one of or both:

GET /MedicationStatement?patient=[id]

GET /MedicationStatement?patient=[id]&_include=MedicationStatement:medication

When representing a prescribed medication, servers SHOULD use codings at the level of a clinical drug rather than ingredient or dose form (e.g. "loratadine 10mg oral tablet", rather than a bare ingredient like "loratadine" or a dose form like "loratadine oral tablet").
