how to GET a Bundle of FHIR that contains both, the Paient details and the Claims he/she has taken?

If I have a patient ../Patient/f8d8477c-1ef4-4878-abed-51e514bfd91f,
and a claim ../Claim/<id> which has a reference to the above patient:

"patient": {
       "reference": "f8d8477c-1ef4-4878-abed-51e514bfd91f",
       "display": "John_Smith"
}

How do i query FHIR to get a bundle that has the Patient and its associated Claims ?
Do i need to add a # in the reference value ?

Solution

  • You could either search for the Patient and _revinclude the Claims, or search for the Claims and _include the Patient. I recommend the latter because it allows for pagination if there happen to be a large number of claims - you want the primary results to be what you're paging through, not the include/revinclude.

    Patient?_id=f8d8477c-1ef4-4878-abed-51e514bfd91f&_revinclude=Claim:patient

    Claim?patient=Patient/f8d8477c-1ef4-4878-abed-51e514bfd91f&_include=Claim:patient
