If you’re new to FHIR or your team is new to FHIR, show your expertise by using one of these simple queries.
1. Tell me how many resources match my query/Patient/?_summary=count
http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR4/Patient/?_summary=count
2. Only give me resource elements where the summary flag is set to true/Patient/10887184/?_summary=true
http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR4/Patient/10887184/?_summary=true
3. Give me every resource that concerns a particular patient/Patient/10887184/$everything
http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR4/Patient/10887184/$everything
4. Give me every resource that concerns a particular Encounter/Encounter/10887187/$everything
http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR4/Encounter/10887187/$everything
5. Give me the Capability Statement for the FHIR server/metadata
http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR4/metadata
6. Tell me which FHIR versions are supported by the server/$versions
Postman only (this query won’t work in a browser): https://server.fire.ly/$versions
Not all parameters and operations are supported by all FHIR servers, so I’ve used the HAPI test server to illustrate most of the above.
Did I miss any simple queries? Please post below with an example if you think I did.
