Pagination of Patient search results

[DJ]

Hi,

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/r4/http.html#paging 

I am trying to setup a simple patient search UI with paging. What is the suggested approach to fetch the records from server? 

client.request("Patient?name=pete&_count=10",{ pageLimit: 1 }) - This gives me first page with 10 records in it. How do I request server for the next 10 records?

Hi,

Unfortunately we do not own the fhir_client.js library (if that is what you are using) and we won't be able to provide assistance on how to use that library. However, from a general perspective, when performing a search we will return the "link" field of the Bundle resource and you will potentially receive a "self" link, which is a link to the current page, a "next" link if there are subsequent pages, and a previous link if you have continued onto the further pages besides the first. 

Here is an example:

  "link": [
    {
      "relation": "self",
      "url": "https://fhir-open.cerner.com/r4/ec2458f2-1e24-41c8-b71b-0e701af7583d/CarePlan?patient=1316020&category=assess-plan"
    },
    {
      "relation": "next",
      "url": "https://fhir-open.cerner.com/r4/ec2458f2-1e24-41c8-b71b-0e701af7583d/CarePlan?patient=1316020&category=assess-plan&-pageContext=eNqdU21r2zAQ_isrGfvkiJNfE0Mhjq0OQ2cbWwnbvhgjq5nAloLslHX0x09OM9Y2dKwBgXS6e-7R6e5hqkeMa8k16od7hlgnpGBNx--5HFHTN7-URPtmJ-QORUeraHY8VnLkP8fZ6or9E98qduinA9Ni5Fo0qOSjFsa5fiBTRMXH-OS6Ws0OWoZPycJetCHXPdpzPSgZtlO-HRJ7ZE4nPsnHEDvYBxsMFi8DmAM2iwKEx4UA4Ltx2SZiDv7cDih4oeOGLkYL_-jCcE7LlOZIq47vtboTHX-TnF7fWmlyjU0Keeg6s62jKo3riNIyXW8oqcwVubkhMU23pE4iSszFXdMN_II9ansxDELJD5ka-bz48TAIJho5cXwp6Lf6Nq3oy2qYak3f3ny_cfPQgU-z1Tsx9vL9GMe7AONegMEX1ONN_2u6lGd1UebbNCHl6299YYz6MLXEzH9CqphkSZp9_n8xnFR1LoXcTHszmhZ_fJLaecQkvr_8GflK63hTVvn0XHthgweB5S0wmIm3sLN0F7br2EYGYMGzUSpKsk3zTXWOxYHrO663tLDrBb6zBGz_AZv6HmeP8BuKWGNn&-pageDirection=NEXT"

Was looking for this same information myself. Would help if it was somehow included in the documentation listed on the Cerner resource page.
