Hi

It seems that even though Observations are searchable by multiple LOINC codes, there is no way to search Observation by multiple Categories, right? If true, then is it fair to assume we have to make multiple Observation resource calls to fetch different categories (vital-signs, exam, therapy, social-history etc https://www.hl7.org/fhir/DSTU2/valueset-observation-category.html ) or is there a better way? 

Are there any plans to support searching observations by multiple categories?

Best Regards,
~Daya

Hi Daya,

You can search by multiple categories by using comma separation. eg: Observation?patient=123&category=laboratory,social-history

Thanks Jenni, could you please update the documentation, for the benefit of others, to reflect the ability to search by multiple categories https://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/dstu2/diagnostic/observation/#parameters ?

Sure, though those are just examples. We also accept PRs :)
