ndjson error files for Patient endpoint

[Stephanie Sydorko]

Good morning!

Could you help us understand what it means when we get a file like this in the "error" section of the job response? For the specific API call that I did for files since April 10, all of the MBIs in the error files exist in our March CCLF data.

'url': 'https://api.bcda.cms.gov/data/4589/<hash>-error.ndjson'. It has contents something like this (fake MBIs below -- real json has actual MBIs):

{'issue': [{'code': 'exception', 'details': {'coding': [{'code': 'Blue Button Error', 'display': 'Error retrieving BlueButton ID for cclfBeneficiary MBI 123456789', 'system': 'http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/operation-outcome'}], 'text': 'Error retrieving BlueButton ID for cclfBeneficiary MBI 123456789'}, 'severity': 'error'}], 'resourceType': 'OperationOutcome'}

Thank you!

Stephanie
