Get a list of patients

get

/Patient

Retrieves a list of patients that meet supplied query parameters.

Note:
  • The Patient.animal modifier element is not supported and not returned.
  • Direct secure email is not returned.
  • If the current user is a patient or patient proxy, a search may be performed without providing any parameters. The search returns all patients that the current user is granted access to view.
  • Oracle Cerner does not recommend combining family or given parameters with the name parameter when searching for a patient. Whenever possible, use the :exact modifier.
  • The identifier, name, family, given, phone, email, address-postalcode, or gender parameters may be provided exactly once and may have only a single value.
  • A 422 (Unprocessable Entity) status code is returned when over 1000 patients qualify for the search criteria.

Request

Query Parameters
  • Minimum Value: 1

    The maximum number of results to return.

    Example: _count=15

  • The logical resource ID. This parameter is required if no other parameter is used.

    Example: _id=12345

  • The postal code in the address details of the patient.

    The :exact modifier is supported.

    Example: address-postalcode=12345

  • The patient's date of birth.

    The birthdate must not include a time component.

    This may be provided

    • Once using one of the following prefixes to imply a date range:
      • ge
      • le
      • gt
      • lt
      • eq
    • Twice to indicate a date range and must contain one prefix each of le and ge.

    Example:

    • birthdate=eq2001-03-13
    • birthdate=ge2001-03-13&birthdate=le2001-05-01

  • The patient's email.

    Example: email=example@example.com

  • The start of the family name of the patient.

    The :exact modifier is supported and searches for current names, based on the name's period.

    Example: family=Smith

  • The patient's gender.

    Allowed Values: [ "male", "female", "other", "unknown" ]
  • The start of the given name of the patient.

    The :exact modifier is supported and searches for current names, based on the name's period.

    Searching by the given name requires the family parameter.

    Example: given=Sally

  • A patient identifier.

    The family or given parameters should not be combined with the name parameter when searching for a patient. The :exact modifier should be used instead.

    The value of the identifier parameter must include a code. A Social Security Number (SSN) may be provided, but the value is not returned in a matching response.

    Example: identifier=urn:oid:1.1.1.1.1.1|1022228

  • The start of the given name or the family name of the patient.

    The :exact modifier is supported and searches for current names, based on the name's period.

    Example: name=Riley

  • The patient's phone number.

    Example: phone=1234567891
