Topic: filtering out resources by meta.profile
Tushar Nair (Apr 05 2021 at 16:55):
Hello,
I am trying to fetch DiagnosticReport resources in a peculiar way due to some bad data challenges in the server. Due to this situation I have to fetch the DiagnosticReport resources for labs by filtering out DiagnosticReport resources where DiagnosticReport.meta.prfile is not equal to 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-diagnosticreport-note'. Therefore I tried the following query:
http://[base]/DiagnosticReport?_profile:not-in=http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-diagnosticreport-note but I didn't get any result. Again I also tried :
http://pd-fhir-viewer:8080/hapi-fhir-jpaserver/fhir/DiagnosticReport?_profile:not=http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-diagnosticreport-note, still no luck. Have also tried _filter :
pd-fhir-viewer:8080/hapi-fhir-jpaserver/fhir/DiagnosticReport?_filter=profile pr http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-diagnosticreport-note but didnt get a result, infaact it's failing with syntax error. Can anyone please shed light on this. Is it that filtering on uri is not allowed? What could be the work around. Thank you in advance.

There is no means to perform this search at present. You could submit a change proposal suggesting that we add support for :not to uri search parameters (and maybe others too).

You could look at using _filter, but there aren't many servers that support it.

Lloyd McKenzie Thank you ! Can you please tell me or point me to the location explaining change request process

At the bottom of every page in the spec is a "propose a change" link. You'll have to do a one-time registration and we have a human review all requests to make sure you're not a spammer. However, registration is free and open to all. Once you're registered, you can submit change requests to your heart's content.
