  fhir:description [ fhir:v "The *lastn query* meets the common need for searching for the most recent or last n=number of observations for a subject. For example, retrieving the last 5 temperatures for a patient to view trends or fetching the most recent laboratory results or vitals signs.

( e.g., `code` or `code-value-concept`)\n\nThe request for a lastn query MAY include:\n\n* Other Observation search parameters and modifiers\n\nThe response from a lastn query is a set of observations:\n\n*  Filtered by additional parameters\n   * If not explicitly filtered by status then will include statuses of 'entered-in-error'\n* 'GROUP BY' `Observation.code`\n   * Codes SHALL be considered equivalent if the `coding.value` *and* `coding.system` are the same.\n   * Text only codes SHALL be treated and grouped based on the text.\n   * For codes with translations (multiple codings), the code translations are assumed to be equal and the grouping by code SHALL follow the transitive property of equality.\n\nfor example:\n\n|Observation.code for observation a|Observation.code for observation b|Observation.code for observation c|number of groups [codes/text in each group]|    \n|---|---|---|---|     \n|a|b|c | 3 [a],[b],[c]|    \n|a|b|a,c | 2 [a.c],[b]|     \n|a|b|a,b | 1 [a,b]|    \n|'textM'|'Text'|'t e x t'|3 ['text'],['Text'],['t e x t']|\n\n* Sorted from most recent to the oldest\n* Limited to the number of requested responses per group specified by the optional *max* query parameter\n  * In case of a tie - when the effective times for >1 Observations are equal - both will be returned.

  fhir:comment [ fhir:v "The key differences between this query operation and simply searching Observation using the combination of `_count` and `_sort` parameters are:\r\r* The *lastn* query returns **only** the last N resource grouped by code.  Using the _count query method doesn't restrict the total matches so you may need to page through several \"A\" Observations  before getting to Observation \"B\".\r* The server is responsible for grouping the observations by codes.  This frees the client from needing to determine which codes she should ask for.\r\rThis operation cannot be performed on observations that the user is not authorized to see.  It is assumed that the server has identified and secured the context appropriately, and can either associate the authorization context with a single patient, or determine whether the context has the rights to the nominated patient, if there is one. If there is no nominated patient (e.g. the operation is invoked at the system level) and the context is not associated with a single patient record, then the server should return an error. Specifying the relationship between the context, a user and patient records is outside the scope of this specification."] ;
