Provenance

GET https://api.flexpa.com/fhir/Provenance

  • Provenance is a base FHIR Resource ( JSON example)
  • It provides meta information (e.g., action type, date/time, author) for the target resource
  • Commonly available via US Core Provenance Profile

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.

#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

ACCESS_TOKEN=flexpa-link-access-token

curl "https://api.flexpa.com/fhir/Provenance?target=AllergyIntolerance/4e329898-43ea-e611-8128-0a69c1b3225b" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN"
