With the addition of Clinical notes as part of the DocumentReference Resource, should we reevaluate the given search parameters?

For example: searching by docStatus (prelim, final, etc.) seems a lot more useful than searching by status; would it make sense to add docStatus to the parameters in the spec?

Also, there are three ways we can search DocRef by date: created, indexed, and period.

In the examples we've had in the clinical notes track scenario, we use the 'created' parameter to search by date the note was created. Do we expect all servers to support this 'created' parameter, or to just support one of the three date-related params?

I ask because it seems to also make sense to use the "period" parameter for clinical notes to specify the date that the actual service took place. Because the date the note was created does not always have to do with the date of service (the clinical thing that is the reason the note exists), 'period' may even be better than 'created'.

so I see that there are 3 search parameters for these things already - so I think you are asking about argonaut conformance requirements, not the specification itself?

@Grahame Grieve Right, The first question was about adding docStatus to the spec itself.

The second (RE: dates) was regarding the Argonaut conformance (as well as making sure I understand what the parameters actually mean...)

ah ok. adding a search parameter for docStatus looks like a no brainer to me - make a task for that
