Topic: Operation $meta
Charles Keenan (Feb 08 2022 at 02:19):
Hello everyone,
As documented at https://www.hl7.org/fhir/resource-operation-meta.html , performing a $meta operation at a system-wide level will retrieve "a list of all profiles, tags and security labels in use by the system". However, the list "will not contain versionId, lastUpdated etc.". Furthermore, it is not clear to me if the profiles, tags and security labels that are returned in the list will be organized by the resource to which they belong.
Does anyone know how to implement the $meta operation in such a way that returns ALL of the meta elements, and arranges them by the resource they belong to?
Thank you for your time.

If you want the labels/tags by type, you can invoke this operation at the type level (e.g. /AllergyIntolerance/$meta and so on).

You'd get back a single Parameters instance that looks pretty much identical to the example in the spec - a Meta instance listing the distinct set of tags, security codes, etc. found in the system.
