Topic: Search Organization 'name'
Tushar Nair (Jun 21 2021 at 19:56):
Hello,
I am trying to query the Organization by name , it works when the name is an exact match but it doesn't when I use apart of name. e.g. Organization?name=VASSAR fails but if I perform it as Organization?name=VASSAR HEALTH it gives a proper result. Is this normal? I tried this in HAPI but I also tried this on another server provided for pdex (prov directory) testing , the base URl for the same is https://davinci-plan-net-ri.logicahealth.org/fhir/
To address this I used _filter. I have a requirement that all my queries in provider directory -be it by name, specialty, address etc. should be first filtered by _profile value as we want to ensure that we don't load resources generated from other transactions like CCD, ADTs, 837s etc. But when I use the _profile parameter in the query sing _filter, it says that '_profile' is not allowed or supported. Why _profile is not supported while using _filter? is there a different way of doing this, what should be the way forward. I would be grateful if someone could shed light on this. @Saul Kravitz @Lloyd McKenzie

Why not just use a query in the form of http://base/Organization?_profile=http://foo&name=bar ?
James Agnew (Jun 25 2021 at 09:45):
That should meet your use case as described - The _filter search parameter is fairly rarely supported out there, and at least in HAPI's case it can functionally work but be worse for performance.

@James Agnew They shouldn't have to specify _profile. Organization?name=VASSAR should be matching on "Vassar Health", but according to @Tushar Nair, it's not

Oh, sorry. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the issue then.
@Tushar Nair is this something you could demonstrate on our public server: http://hapi.fhir.org
