FHIR Bundle
- Pete Richardson
- Amanda Wakefield
A FHIR Bundle is a single call that can create, update, or delete multiple records in a single transaction. The following is documentation on a bundle Bundle - FHIR v5.0.0 .
The following outlines
A bundle can reference other objects in the bundle. This will then create the related object and then associate it with a new object. For example, if a service request contains a reference to a consent object, then the bundle can contain both the new consent object and the new service request object with the reference in the bundle. For example
The consent object can contain the JSON attribute full URL
{ request: { method: 'POST', url: 'Consent', }, fullUrl: 'urn:uuid:05efabf0-4be2-4561-91ce-51548425acb9', resource: { resourceType: 'Consent' }, },The service object then can reference that id when it makes the reference
resource: { resourceType: 'ServiceRequest', reasonReference: { reference: 'urn:uuid:05efabf0-4be2-4561-91ce-51548425acb9', },
For this version of the CIE implementation of the FHIR spec we will not be able to process patient records in a bundle. This is because of the de duplication processing that needs to be done on the patient record before it goes into the database.
