Retrieve a complete patient clinical summary using the $everything operation

domain: hl7.org/fhir/R4 · 5 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Issue a GET to Patient/{id}/$everything to request all resources in the patient's compartment
  2. Apply _since, _type, and _count parameters to scope the request and support pagination for patients with large record volumes
  3. Handle the paginated response by following the Bundle.link 'next' relation URLs until no next link is present
  4. Aggregate all returned resource types from the Bundle entries into a local store or display layer
  5. Respect server-imposed limits on $everything result size and implement retry with narrower _type filters if the server returns a CapabilityStatement-advertised error for oversized requests
