FHIR Appointment

Base Path: /fhir/4.0/Appointment

Version: 2.0.0

The FHIR Appointment API provides access to a patient's scheduled appointments, encompassing various types such as surgeries, clinical visits, clinician consultations, and diagnostic equipment reservations.

The endpoint provides the ability to:

  • Retrieve all Appointment resources that match search criteria for a given patient.
  • Retrieve a specific Appointment resource based on its resource ID.
  • Retrieve the history of an Appointment resource based on its FHIR ID.
  • Retrieve a specific version of an Appointment resource based on its FHIR ID and Version ID.
  • Retrieve Appointment results from third-party sources.
  • Supports exporting resources via FHIR Bulk.

The data returned in this API is subject to privacy and permissions settings, refer to the Working with Privacy guide to learn how this might affect your application.

The Appointment API aggregates data from multiple sources, to learn about working with aggregated APIs refer to the Working with Aggregation guide in the Knowledge Hub.

This API is based on the R4 release of the FHIR standard, for more information on this API refer to the official FHIR documentation.

Name:

_lastUpdated

optional

Type:

formData

Data Type:

array

Description:

Allows the user to filter appointments by the lastUpdated date. The date value can be a single date, as well as lower and/or upper bound.

The supported operations are: =gt, =ge, =lt, =ne, =le, =eq. For more information about using these search operators, refer to the date section on the FHIR Search page.

The {dateTimeValue} value should be in the following format: 2013-01-01T23:00:00-05:00. However, the time portion can be excluded. If a time portion is provided, the time zone must be provided as well.

It is highly recommended to provide the time zone portion in any query. Ensure that special characters such as '+' are encoded so that it can be interpreted correctly. For example: "2014-01-01T00:00:00+13:00" should be encoded like this: "2014-01-01T00:00:00%2B13:00".

If a date query comes in without a time zone, the date will be interpreted according to the server's time zone.

Including this query parameter includes all Appointments that match the specified Appointment.meta.lastUpdated.


Sample Value: _lastUpdated=gt2012-01-01&_lastUpdated=lt2022-01-01
