Continued from https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/4-implementers/topic/Subscriptions.20and.20includes - is it possible using subscriptions to get bundled resources in the events when using includes / revincludes in the criteria aka some sort of piggybacking?
Grahame Grieve (Oct 08 2018 at 18:26):
I don't believe we've commented about this. Let's start with this question: why do you want to do an include? is it that you need atomicity?
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 20:23):
yes - one compound transaction should in the best case end up in one event
Grahame Grieve (Oct 08 2018 at 20:24):
what makes this a compound transaction?
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 20:26):
nothing specially .... if I receive a transaction that creates both a patient and his/hers encounter I would like to be able to ship a single event using a subscription
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 20:27):
it saves me the trouble of having multiple subscriptions (one pr. type) and ordering of events
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 20:29):
And I would imagine that its a pretty common scenario ... (but I could be mistaken - I just couldn't find any previous discussions about it)
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 20:31):
but then again ... you could probably spin up af lot of more cases for piggybacking related resources when some criteria is fulfilled
Grahame Grieve (Oct 08 2018 at 21:06):
well, if you're not subscribing to the other resource, then you'll miss updates to it. Would that matter?
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 21:25):
I might also need the other subscription - but what I need to avoid is that the system listening for events can receive an encounter before it has heard of the patient.
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 21:26):
so bundling and piggybacking seemed like a way forward
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 21:26):
to match parts of an incoming transaction
Jens Villadsen (Oct 08 2018 at 21:29):
but the subscription resource documentation is pretty silent about the use of transactions and/or bundles
