Topic: FHIR - Condition.subject when searching for conditions
Nathan Hall (Oct 04 2018 at 22:12):
Let's say I'm searching a fhir rest api for conditions with no patient attached to it, e.g., I want to get back icd10s that match ear. The condition resource requires the subject field. What's the desired outcome here? Do I make a <contained> <condition> or am I thinking about this incorrectly?
Michele Mottini (Oct 04 2018 at 23:59):
The Condition resource represent the condition / problem that specific patients have (or had), so there is no 'Condition with no patient attached

If you want something like 'all possible conditions' that would probably be a ValueSet or CodeSystem

what would be the best way to search for icd-10 with description containing the word brain? what would be the url that someone would hit?

http://www.myhost.com/CodeSystem?system=http://canonical-icd10-uri.com&description=brain .. or something else

acme.com/fhir/ValueSet/$expand?text=brain&url=[???]

@Rob Hausam we haven't defined this...?
Yunwei Wang (Oct 10 2018 at 18:29):
/ValueSet/$expand?filter=brain&url=http://hl7.org/fhir/sid/icd-10
Need to define an ICD-10 valueset first.
Nathan Hall (Oct 10 2018 at 18:31):
great thank you both
Rob Hausam (Oct 10 2018 at 20:12):
Yes, I think Yunwei's suggestion will normally work (although there could be some differences in implementation across servers). We haven't defined implicit value sets for ICD-[X] yet, but if and when we do that could be used (only "all codes" is needed for this).
