Note:
  • A 422 (Unprocessable Content) status code is returned when more than 1000 patients qualify for the search criteria.
  • The name, family, and given parameters support the :exact modifier and search for current names only, based on the name's period.
  • Oracle Cerner does not recommend combining the family or given parameters with the name parameter when searching for a patient. Whenever possible, use the :exact modifier.
