Topic: Requesting Data from EHR
Madeline Hoskins (Aug 13 2019 at 15:48):
I am trying to create a service that requests specific data elements from an EHR FHIR Server. To do this, I assume I should use a Bundle of requests that have search queries. However, some of the elements I am looking for are not considered "search-parameters" by FHIR (read: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/searchparameter-registry.html). Is there a way to do this? (Example: Looking for the patients mothers maiden name)
Grahame Grieve (Aug 15 2019 at 02:24):
there is a search parameter for mother's maiden name (in US core, I think). The names are not limiting - you can define other names if you're the server. And if you're the client, the server is not obliged to support all the names we define (just not to use them differently). You have to negotiate with the server(s) in this case
