While I create a patient without the generalPractitioner, the patient getting created. But while I add generalPractitioner inside request payload I am getting 400 Bad requests. I have confirmed the practitioner's existence with Cerner sandbox by Practitioner?_id=1994021 request.

"generalPractitioner": [
    {
      "reference": "Practitioner/1994021"
    }
  ]

Hi,

We're currently investigating this and will get back to you. In the meantime, please provide a different Practitioner which should fix the issue.

When we have more details to share we'll let you know.

Thanks,

Ben (Cerner)

Hi Ben,

Can you please give me alternate practitioner IDs for me to try?

I have tried with the Practitioner/605925 but I’m getting same error.

Thanks,
Shankar

Thanks,
