Azure FHIR search for resources with _include

Question

I have a DiagnosticReport resouce that has an encounter and 3 observation resources references. I am trying to do a search query that would return a Bundle with the DiagnosticReport and all referenced resources so as to not have to do 4 other queries.

"encounter": {
    "reference": "Encounter/8720d7d7-68cc-3575-8c79-9de39561324c"
},
"effectivePeriod": {
    "start": "2020-07-01T08:16:00.000Z",
    "end": "2020-07-01T08:16:00.000Z"
},
"issued": "2020-07-01T08:17:03+00:00",
"result": [
    {
        "reference": "Observation/89510c61-8a94-3c65-8832-3397d2a70bfd"
    },
    {
        "reference": "Observation/3d837dbf-3d4c-3742-9b6e-2638d26d8c54"
    },
    {
        "reference": "Observation/618ec246-2d98-3179-a0a2-a0094046f466"
    }
]

I have tried 
[Base]/DiagnosticReport/{id}?_include=DiagnosticReport:Encounter
[Base]/DiagnosticReport/{id}?_include=DiagnosticReport:Encounter/{id}
Is there a way to get the DiagnosticReport & Encoutner & Observation in one Bundle?

This is an SQL OSS FHIR Server, so according to Documentation _include is supported in the SQL Version of azure.


 

Answer 1

You need to use the search parameters when you specify the includes, so in your case:

https://fhir-server-url/DiagnosticReport?_id=1234&_include=DiagnosticReport:encounter&_include=DiagnosticReport:result

Will return the Encounter and the Observation resources in the bundle.

Answer 2

I'm using FHIR API Service also. I ran across this issue for Encounter and this worked for me.

https://lcavantage.azurehealthcareapis.com/Encounter?_id=f1c06cc6-be9c-e673-408e-e6e303d9924a&_include=Encounter:subject

I believe this works now because COSMOS DB has had a few updates this question was presented and handles relationships better!
