Topic: Radiotherapy FHIR Extensions and Data Ingestion
Ananya Choudhury (Jun 04 2020 at 12:46):
I have been working on creating radiotherapy FHIR profiles and as such, I have a couple of extensions defined. I am using the HAPI JPA FHIR server for internal testing.
The profiles are successfully validated in the server. But when I am trying to post any resource with the values for the extensions, the server simply ignores the extension part.
Now, I am questioning 1) what is the correct way for working with extensions? 2) Do we need to register the extensions before we can use them? 3) How can we set the search parameters on the extensions?
Anyone experienced similar problems or have any recommendations.

Servers aren't required to pay attention to every extension. In fact, servers aren't required to even pay attention to core elements. Is the server you're sending to one of the generic FHIR reference servers, or is it specific to a particular EHR or other software? In the latter case, you'll need to negotiate with the maintainer of the system to support your extensions
