Access to Clinical Data

Retrieve Procedure

4min

Retrieve information on medical procedures performed on a patient. Access details on surgical interventions, diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic treatments. Essential for understanding a patient's medical interventions and healthcare procedures.

To access this clinical data you'll need the patient identifier, obtainable through the Retrieve Patient interaction.

Interaction

Retrieving the list of procedures can be done by sending a GET request. The request is sent to the Procedure endpoint:

https://api.<region>.founda.com/1/organizations/<org-x>/fhir/4/Procedure?<parameters>

Where <region> should be defined according to the different Founda regions and <org-x> should be replaced with the Healthcare Provider's organization ID that you are integrated with.

The response contains a Bundle with 0, 1 or N matching Procedures. The full Procedure resource can be retrieved with the identifier of the selected Procedure from the result set.

Profile

Founda adheres to recognized standards (IHE, HL7 FHIR) to ensure compatibility and harmonization among diverse systems. If there is a profile available for an interaction, it is recommended and preferred to follow the prescribed transactions.

The Retrieve Procedure interaction with the Founda Platform is based on the IHE QEDm profile. To indicate that the request and response should comply with PCC-44, the _profile parameter should be included to the search set: .../Procedure?_profile=https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/QEDm.

Parameters

In order to comply with the PCC-44 transaction, the interaction should at least support the parameter in the table below. Additional search parameters, as defined in the FHIR Procedure resource, can be used as well.
