2.1. Search Parameters

This implementation guide outlines some suggested search parameters for the Flag resource in the table below. To be conformant, provider systems are required to implement all of the SHALL parameters. Provider systems may implement the full list of search parameters for the Flag resource (HL7 FHIR STU3 Flag).

2.1.1. patient

See reference for details on this parameter. The patient parameter can be used two ways:

This SHALL be supported for all endpoint provider systems.

id is the logical id of the patient on the server which can be obtained by a Patient resource query.

GET [baseUrl]/Flag?patient=42

Return all Flag resources for Patients with a logical id of 42

This SHOULD be supported by middleware systems (e.g. enterprise application integration (EAI) and the enterprise service bus (ESB)) and MAY be supported for endpoint provider systems.

system is a uniform resource identifier which defines which CodeSystem the identifer belongs to. For NHS Number this would be https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number and code would be the NHS Number.

GET [baseUrl]/Flag?patient.identifier=https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number|9876543210

Return all Flag resources for Patients with a NHS Number of 9876543210

2.1.2. status

See token for details on this parameter.

To filter on status ( active | inactive | entered-in-error )

GET [baseUrl]/Flag?patient=1&status=active

Return all Flag resources with a status of active and Patient with a logical id of 1.

2.2. Search Response

If the search fails (cannot be executed, not that there is no matches), the return value is a status code 4xx or 5xx with an OperationOutcome.

If the search succeeds, the return content is a Bundle with type = searchset containing the results of the search as a list of resources in a defined order. The result list can be long, so servers MAY use paging. If they do, they SHALL use this Paging method for breaking the list into pages if appropriate. The server MAY also return an OperationOutcome resource with additional information about the search; if one is sent it SHALL NOT include any errors, and it shall be marked with an entry mode of include.
