Topic: Link Patient to external web app
Michael Lippens (Feb 08 2022 at 11:25):
Would it be okay to expose a link to a web application using the Patient.link property? Patient.link.type could be set to seealso or refer, and link.other.reference could be a canonical URL to the resource in the web application. This approach is discouraged in the docs, but I see no other clean way to expose it.

this sounds like hateos - so the natural place to put it would be in the links in the HTTP headers.

Sounds like a better alternative indeed than 'misusing' a FHIR resource for that link. Thanks, I didn't even know about the Link header actually.
