Topic: Patient $everything operation question
Nagesh Bashyam (Jul 21 2016 at 17:56):
Hello
I had 2 questions based on work that DAF is doing for research purposes.
1. Can the $everything operation on the patient be invoked to return de-idenified data sometimes and identified data other times or is there an expectation that it is always identified ?
2. Can $everything be used across the system to return data for all patients who have consented to share their information for research (or other purposes) ?
Thanks

neither as currently described.
Grahame Grieve (Jul 21 2016 at 19:25):
#2 would be to describe $everything on group
Grahame Grieve (Jul 21 2016 at 19:30):
#1 - there's no way to ask for that. And I don't think 'deidentification' is a simple 'do this' thing
Angelo Kastroulis (Jul 21 2016 at 19:33):
Not to mention that deindentification depends on the context...
Nagesh Bashyam (Jul 21 2016 at 19:37):
I agree on the complexity of the de-identification.
What does describe $everything on group mean (on the Patient Resource instance of a specific Patient) ?
Grahame Grieve (Jul 21 2016 at 19:40):
on the Group resource
Grahame Grieve (Jul 21 2016 at 19:40):
get [base]/Group/[my-ressearch-group]/$everything

ok...got it

When implementing the behavior of patient $everything -- how has everyone interpreted how the implementation should work when the _type parameter is specified? For example, if a _type of CarePlan is specified, are associated Organizations and Practitioners returned or not?
Daniel Venton (Jan 18 2022 at 21:07):
Yes, the _type specifies all the patient centric resources to include (A resource that pertains to a patient). Also included are all the support resources of those selected.
From: http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/patient-operation-everything.html
"The server also returns whatever resources are needed to support the records - e.g. linked practitioners, medications, locations, organizations etc."
