Provenance
GET https://api.flexpa.com/fhir/Provenance
Provenance is a supporting FHIR resource that provides meta information about the target resource. You can think of Provenance as the authorship of a resource, as it is a record that describes entities and processes involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing that resource.
In contrast to many of the other resources in the Flexpa that are patient-specific, it serves as a supplementary resource that supports the clinical and financial resources in the API by giving versioning of that resource over time.
As a result, Provenance is most often used as part of a unique revinclude parameter in a search request or is accessed via a read with a specific FHIR resource ID obtained from a financial or clinical resource. Many payers will not support open searches for this resource.
As a supporting resource, many payers make this available, but many only support a read operation and do not fully support search.
Sample request
While some servers may support a resource-level search without any parameters, very few do for Provenance. We recommend using the format below with a specific resource ID as a search parameter.
This is a sample request using curl to retrieve the Provenance data for a specific AllergyIntolerance resource
