Read

If you know the ID of a resource on an FHIR server, you can read back the most recent version of that resource by performing a Read operation. The Read uses an HTTP GET against the URL [baseUrl]/[resourceType]/[id].

The following example shows a simple read of the resource created and updated in the examples in Create, Update, Delete, and Patch.
