Topic: FHIR Question
Bapi Behera (Jun 12 2020 at 16:20):
Is it mandatory to have the query parameters be in the Base resource? Can we use a search parameter that's not in the base FHIR resource (and not in resource meta data)? The search parameter element is in the database, that I want to query. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure what you mean by query parameters being "in the Base resource". FHIR defines a number of standard SearchParameters. Implementers are allowed to define others. A server's CapabilityStatement will identify the specific SearchParameters it supports. If you try to search using search parameters the server doesn't support, the server will either ignore the parameter or will raise an error.

Thanks Lloyd. Let me redefine my question. I want to use search parameter as "Formulary_ID" which is not an element in MedicationKnowledge resource. Can I do that?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 12 2020 at 18:06):
When you define a SearchParameter, you must express how it maps to an element in the resource. That element might be an extension, but it has to be there somewhere. You can't search on something that can't be exposed in the resource at all. I guess it's theoretically possible to allow searching on something that gets redacted in the exposed resource, but that seems like something that would expose a security risk...

Hello I'm new to FHIR HLN7 and have been reading the documentation with certain points being difficult to understand, I use PHP and would like to ask that IO would like to practice using FHIR standard is it possible to setup a FHIR server to use? how do I go about doing this

@Dalvinderpal Soora For PHP, see https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179166-implementers/topic/with.20PHP. In terms of setting up a FHIR server, first consider using one of the available public test servers (https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/Public+Test+Servers) and then, if you wish, stand up one of the FHIR reference implementations (https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/Open+Source+Implementations)
