Topic: time zone FHIR queries (date)
Lital Inghel (Dec 06 2021 at 15:31):
we encountered some issues when using time zone in date query. how is FHIR treating time zones? is there a clear requirement for this?
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 06 2021 at 15:39):
It's discussed here: https://build.fhir.org/search.html#date. Is there guidance you're looking for beyond that?
Lital Inghel (Dec 06 2021 at 16:37):
it says
'Managing time zones and offsets and their impact on search is a very difficult area. The FHIR implementation community is still investigating and debating the best way to handle time zones. Implementation guides may make additional rules in this regard.'
so are there any rules in regards to that?
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 06 2021 at 16:51):
Depends what implementation guides you're trying to conform with. I can't recall seeing any implementation guides that imposed additional guidance.
