Get all patient list through FHIR API

[Shankar Ganesh Jayaraman]

Hello there,

Is there a way or resource available in Cerner FHIR(DSTU2/R4) to get all the patient list (or) patient list by the practitioner (or) patient list by the organization ... etc

Note: Search patient parameters are very limited and it does not support patient list by practitioner. 

Kindly help on this request.

Thanks,

Shankar

Hi Shankar,

Some public test servers expose the functionality that you are looking for, where for example a Patient request without any search parameters would return a list of every known patient. Cerner's public sandbox does not expose this, for a few reasons: there are lots of patients in the system and such requests would be very resource-hungry, and this behavior would not be available in production deployments so we have opted not to support it in our sandbox either.

If you are wondering about test patients to use, please find that information documented here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/cerner-fhir-developers/edPUbVPIag0

If you want a list of every patient in the sandbox, that is not available via FHIR APIs.

Note: Search patient parameters are very limited and it does not support patient list by practitioner. 

Correct, Cerner's Patient API does not expose practitioner as a search parameter. Supported parameters are documented on fhir.cerner.com and in server Conformance statements.

Hi Shankar,

Unfortunately we do not expose any Bulk API for retrieving Patient (or any other resource) at this time in our sandbox or production environment. All queries will be limited by the current query parameters we support which are listed out on fhir.cerner.com.

Thanks,

Ben (Cerner)

Hello Benjamin,

just wondering, since this thread is a year old -- is it still the case that Cerner does not expose any Bulk API? Is it expected to be implemented in the future?

Thanks,

As Ben had last mentioned,

Unfortunately we do not expose any Bulk API for retrieving Patient (or any other resource) at this time in our sandbox or production environment. All queries will be limited by the current query parameters we support which are listed out on fhir.cerner.com. They might be implemented in the future but we won't be able to provide any timelines.

Thanks,
