Unable to get recent encounter from fhir/r4/Encounter endpoints #281

Closed balamurugan-clustrex closed 1 year ago

balamurugan-clustrex commented 1 year ago

Description: I am experiencing issues when trying to retrieve recent encounters from the FHIR R4 Encounter endpoint. Here are the details of the problem:

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Try OAuth2.0 in Postman or Web UI

Expected behavior: I expect to receive the most recent encounter for the specified patient.

Additional Information: https://ap22sandbox.fhirapi.athenahealth.com/demoAPIServer/fhir/r4/Encounter?patient=1225794134051060&_sort=-date&_count=1. I try this for descending order but not working. It always gives first record only.

I appreciate any assistance or guidance in resolving this issue and obtaining the most recent encounter for the specified patient.

Sorting resources in response Bundles is not supported by the athenaPractice or athenaFlow FHIR servers. The metadata API returns a CapabilityStatement that does not contain _sort in any of the CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.searchParam elements.

We are sorry for the confusion. FHIR specification of _sort search parameter states "The server returns the sort it performs as part of the returned search parameters (see Server Conformance for search.")

Since the _sort parameter value is ignored, the _sort parameter should be omitted from the Bundle.link.url elements. This is a bug.

This issue is a future enhancement request to support a FHIR Encounter request that would return a response with the most recent encounter.
