Extension: CSSearchParameterCombination - Detailed Descriptions

Page standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 3

Definitions for the capabilitystatement-search-parameter-combination extension.

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.

1. Extension
Definition

This extension defines a possible search parameter combination by listing a set of search parameters and indicating whether they are required or optional.

  • If a search combination is specified, clients should expect that they must submit a search that meets one of the required combinations or the search will be unsuccessful.
  • If multiple search parameter combinations are specified, a client may pick between them, and supply the minimal required parameters for any of the combinations.
  • If no parameters in the set of search parameters are listed as required, then at least one of the listed optional parameters must be present. This shorthand method is the same as repeating the entire extension for each combination of optional and required search parameters.

Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

Comments

For example, on the Patient Resource you could use this to state support for searching by Patient.name and Patient.gender is required.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
