Design Kids First ID Service #91

Open znatty22 opened 4 years ago

znatty22 commented 4 years ago

The FHIR server has two fixed options for generating resource instance IDs on the server: sequential ID or UUID, neither of which are suitable for Kids First. However, the FHIR server does allow the client to supply its own IDs.

We need an external central service that will generate the desired resource IDs. We've already written a research doc detailing ID design and service options: https://github.com/kids-first/kf-api-dataservice/blob/cf151125ccfdf5db34c8e4e46b8dcf0008bfc356/docs/kf_uids/uid_proposal.md.

We should revisit this and write a design spec and plan for the implementation of the ID service.
