Hello,
Charles Federspiel (Nov 17 2016 at 13:17):
I am new to Fhir and interested in developing a demo of an API Aggregation solution.
Someone mentioned there was interest in API Aggregation to reduce the number of calls to the server. I am evaluating one such platform called Netflix Falcor. This is a server and client library that abstracts DataSources allowing your data to come from an in-memory cache or static mock data, a local computation, or remote REST endpoint(s). The server library is javascript that runs embedded in a Node.js instance.
Example Use case:
Query a patient and some or all of the References also get queried and embedded within the result.
Required:
A public Fhir instance with references populated (Patient or other domain object is OK for my demo)
Does anyone know where I can find data that included valid References that I can se in my demo? Or if you could show me how to populate some dummy refs I would appreciate it.
Also, if you have any ideas for other use cases of API Aggregation in the context of Fhir, your thoughts would be appreciated.

Charles, there re many publicly accessible servers for testing. They often contain a set of test data http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=Publicly_Available_FHIR_Servers_for_testing

Yes, I checked this one:
curl -X POST http://fhir2.healthintersections.com.au/open/Patient/_search
but the patient fields are only sparsely populated and none of the Reference fields are populated as far as I've seen.

There is the patient "Example" that has almost 100 references. The server you are looking at is populated with all the resource examples found in the FHIR specification. http://fhir2.healthintersections.com.au/open/Patient/Example

Thanks John. I do see a reference for the managingOrganization when I click that link and I'm able to follow that reference.
That should do the job. thanks again.
