Retrieve an International Patient Summary (IPS) document using the FHIR $summary operation

domain: hl7.org · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Confirm the FHIR server supports the $summary operation by checking the CapabilityStatement for a Patient-level operation named summary
  2. Invoke the operation with GET [base]/Patient/[id]/$summary; the server returns a FHIR Bundle of type document
  3. The Bundle contains a Composition resource as the first entry; the Composition defines the IPS sections and references the clinical resources
  4. Iterate the Composition.section array; each section has a title, code, and entry array referencing resources in the Bundle by their fullUrl
  5. Extract clinical data from the referenced resources: Medication Statement or MedicationRequest for medications, AllergyIntolerance for allergies, Condition for problems — cross-referenced to the section codes defined by the IPS IG
  6. Validate the Bundle against the IPS FHIR Implementation Guide profiles if conformance checking is required
