Interaction | Read

Read operation describes interaction required to retrieve and view Reasonable Adjustment Flag, Adjustment or Impairment details from Spine via the FHIR® Reasonable Adjustments API

There are 2 common patterns when working with the various Reasonable Adjustment resources within the Interactions:

  • Consent and Flag resource - single, independent resources
  • Condition resource - which are referenced using their associated List

When reading resources

  • Consent and Flag use the Read Resource pattern
  • Condition resources use Read Conditions

1. Read Resource

Read Resource request - response

Given pre-requisites:

  • authenticated, authorized RBACed Spine-User
  • validated NHSNumber

Read Resource Request

For each resource type

GET https://clinicals.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/[resourceType]?
  patient=[nhs#]&status=active&category=RAFlag /HTTP1.1

Read Resource Responses

searchset bundle containing 0..1 consent resource
(or operation outcome if failure to find or process)

Flag resources

searchset of 0..* active RAFlag adjustments for patient
(or operation outcome if failure to find or process)

2. Read Conditions

The Read Conditions interaction is a sequenced pair of interactions to read the Patient’s Reasonable Adjustments List, then to Read only those active Conditions it lists.

Read Conditions request - response

Given pre-requisites:

  • authenticated, authorized RBACed Spine-User
  • validated NHSNumber

Read Conditions Request

First reading the List:

GET https://clinicals.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/List?
  patient=[nhs#]&status=active&category=RAFlag /HTTP1.1

On successful read of the List, read the Conditions:

GET https://clinicals.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Condition?
  _list&clinical-status=active /HTTP1.1

Implementations of Read Conditions MUST implement the Search Parameters _list and clinical-status for the Condition resource.

Read Conditions Responses

List resource

searchset bundle containing 0..1 list resource
(or operation outcome if failure to find or process)

Condition resources

searchset of 0..* active Conditions for patient
(or operation outcome if failure to find or process)

3. Caching READs

When a client does a READ operation to access a specific resource by ID, it may choose to include an If-None-Match header to specify the version ID of the latest version they have of that resource (see the versioning page for details of version IDs) - for example:

GET https://clinicals.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Flag/744eec7d-8951-4722-ad74-dc34e86d4e1a
If-None-Match: W/"25777f7d-27bc"

If the version ID specified in the HTTP header matches the latest held on Spine, a HTTP 304 Not Modified status code will be returned to inform the client that they already have the latest version:

HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2015 22:20:01 GMT

If a newer version of the resource does exist, it will be returned as normal, with the newer versionID as described above so the client can update its cache.

Similarly, a client can query for updates that have a Last-Modified data newer than the last time they queried, by specifying a date in an If-Modified-Since HTTP header:

GET https://clinicals.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Flag/744eec7d-8951-4722-ad74-dc34e86d4e1a
If-Modified-Since: Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:28:00 GMT
