Topic: Patient Link
Hootan Nakhost (Jan 30 2018 at 21:23):
It seems the spec hasn't explicitly addressed what the expected behavior of operations should be in respect to patient link (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/patient.html#links).
Few questions:
1- For a simple calls like "GET /Observation?patient=123" -- if patient 123 has a "replaced-by" link to patient 456, should the server return Observations about Patient 456? What if the link is of type "seealso"?
2- For patient-everything, should we return resources related to all linked patient resources?
3- If a user has a permission to access a patient resource, should we assume they automatically have access to other linked patient resources?
I wounder what approach other people have taken.

@Hootan Nakhost Please submit a change request ("Propose a change" link at the bottom of the spec). This is absolutely something that should be clarified.

Thanks, will do so, as soon as my FHIR account registration gets approved.

You should now be approved :)
