Patient $merge

[Cristina Gagliardi]

Hi, we have installed the latest version of the hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter project which uses hapi-fhir 8.0.0 and R4 by default. We tried to use the $merge operation to merge two Patient. It seems that the method is not active. Some configuration is needed that is not present in the default application.yml? Is an additional configuration required?

This is the error message.

"issue": [
{
"severity": "error",
"code": "not-supported",
"diagnostics": "Invalid request: The FHIR endpoint on this server does not know how to handle POST operation[Patient/$merge] with parameters [[]]"
}
]
}

Thanks!

Hi Christina,

hapi has a PatientMergeProvider, but it is not enabled in the JPAStarter and has no config option.

I will create a PR to add this functionality to the jpastarter server.

PR: https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter/pull/800

Waiting for review and to be merged. 

This introduces a config option in the application.yaml to enable the PatientMergeProvider:

patient-merge-enabled: true
