Topic: Search by IdentifierType (MRN)
Kalyani Yerra (Nov 09 2017 at 04:14):
When I want to search a patient resource by Identifier.type= http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203 | MR with a value of xyz How can I do this?
Thanks,
Kalyani

At the moment, you'd need to define a custom search criteria. However that seems like something that might be worth adding a standard qualifier for. E.g. Patient?identifer:type=MR
Can you submit a change proposal?

Thanks Lloyd for the response and I have created a change proposal.

I strongly advocate an extra SearchParameter instead of an extra modifier (qualifier as Lloyd named it). SearchParameters are handled in a generic way, and a new one will often not require additional work (at least not for generic FHIR servers), whereas a new modifier will require specific handling. I'd like to add this to the GF tracker - @Kalyani Yerra do you have the tracker number?
