Topic: patient birthdate search

for Patient.birthDate
to pass FHIR certification -
for
GET [base]/Patient?birthdate=[birthdate]
can we only support a search by date where date format is day month and year,
or we must also support month/year or year only?

There isn't really any such thing as "FHIR certification". (The FHIR core spec could care less whether you support birthdate at all.) Are you trying to conform with a specific implementation guide?
Daniel Venton (Dec 06 2021 at 16:57):
As I read the base FHIR spec, any level of precision is expected to be supported.
?date=ge2020
?date=ge2020-06
?date=ge2020-06-15
...

I guess I meant 170.315(g)(10)
using US CORE 3.1.1
David Pyke (Dec 06 2021 at 17:21):
US Core didn't give date guidance until version 4. So, how you support date searches is up to you
Eric Haas (Dec 06 2021 at 17:36):
we have updated guidance in US Core surrounding searching by date: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/general-guidance.html#date-precision-expectations
