Search MI Report
The Search MI Reports operation issues a parameterized query that results in a searchset Bundle that contains DiagnosticReport resources related to a patient.
The mandatory parameter for this query:
- Patient identifier
The optional parameters for this query:
- patient gender
- patient date of birth
- DiagnosticReport issued (date)
- Procedure code of the MI order associated with the report
- Categories of the MI order associted with the report such as modality, specialty, body part, laterality
- Identifier such as accession number, placer order number, fill order number
- maxinum number of records to return
- other resources to be included in the result set (_include)
| Search Parameter | Type | Documentation | Usage Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| patient.identifier | Identifier | Mandatory paramater This parameter specifies an identifier associated with the patient who is the subject of this report. This use of patient.identifier follows the FHIR Chaining Parameters search methodology. | HCN or MRN. MRN is preferred. System and value must be provided. |
| patient.gender | token | Optional parameter This parameter specifies the gender of the patient associated to this report. | Value may be "male", "female", "other", "unknown" |
| patient.birthDate | date | Optional parameter This parameter specifies the date of birth of the patient associated to this report. | |
| issued | date | Optional paramater The date range relates to the dates when reports were issued | |
| code | Coding | Optional paramater The code relates to DiagnosticReport code (procedure code). This might be a local, provincial or SNOMED CT procedure code for DiagnosticReport code. | |
| basedOn:ServiceRequest.code | token | Optional paramater The procedure code of the MI order associated with the MI report | |
| basedOn:ServiceRequest.category | Coding | Optional paramater These are the category values of the MI order associated with the MI report (e.g. procedure code, modality, specialty, body part, laterality) | |
| basedOn:ServiceRquest.code-category | composite | Optional paramater This parameter supports the query by procedure code and category of the order associate with the report | |
| identifier | Identifier | Optional paramater This is the business identifier of the report, such as accession number, placer order number, fill order number | |
| _count | integer | Optional paramater This is the maximum number of records to return. | |
| _include | string | Optional paramater This supports inline request for additional resources to be included in the result set. For example, to include referenced resources, use _include=* |
Scope
This interaction involves a request by an miCDR DiagnosticReport Consumer for a set of DiagnosticReport resources matching the specified search criteria. The request is received by the miCDR FHIR server which returns a Bundle containing the matching DiagnosticReport.
For example, a physician who has access to miCDR is seeing a new patient and wants to see a list of MI reports available for that patient. A physician uses the patient information held in the system to query miCDR FHIR server for any DiagnosticReport resources that exist for that patient. A physician can also request searching for reports with specific procedure codes (DiagnosticReport.code) and/or categories, e.g.modalities, specialties, body parts, etc. (DiagnosticReport.category). The server returns a Bundle with matching MI reports. The PoS system is responsibile for listing the available MI reports for the user to review.
Interaction Diagram
Actor: miCDR DiagnosticReport Consumer
Role: Requests a set of miCDR DiagnosticReport resources from the miCDR FHIR server based on specified search criteria.
Actor: miCDR FHIR server
Role: Returns a Bundle containing DiagnosticReport instances (as well as reference resources if requested by use of _include and _revinclude parameters) that match the search criteria specified by the miCDR DiagnosticReport Consumer.
Specification
Search
The miCDR FHIR server supports both GET and POST; we prefer the use of POST to avoid putting PHI in request URLs.
GET [base]/DiagnosticReport?{parameters}
POST [base]/DiagnosticReport
For POST request, the parameters SHALL be provided in the form of FHIR Parameters resource in the HTTP body of the request.
Search Response
If the query is valid and at least one DiagnosticReport is found, miCDR FHIR server will return a searchset bundle containing matching DiagnosticReport resource(s).

Examples
The following search parameters and search parameter combinations are supported:
- Search for all DiagnosticReport resources for a patient using the patient search parameter
GET [base]/DiagnosticReport?patient={Type/}[id]
1.1 Example of search by patient's Ontario HCN
GET [base]/DiagnosticReport?patient.identifier=https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/NamingSystem/ca-on-patient-hcn|1234567890
1.2 Example of search by multiple patient MRNs
GET [base]/DiagnosticReport?patient.identifier=http://ehealthontario.ca/fhir/NamingSystem/id-the-ottawa-hospital-mrn|23456789,http://ehealthontario.ca/fhir/NamingSystem/id-mackenzie-health-hospital-mrn|23456783,http://ehealthontario.ca/fhir/NamingSystem/id-providence-care-mrn|11233,http://ehealthontario.ca/fhir/NamingSystem/id-windsor-regional-hospital-mrn|23456786
1.3 Search for DiagnosticReport resources using the combination of the patient, start and end date, and DiagnosticReport code:
GET [base]/DiagnosticReport?patient.identifier=[system]|1234567890&issued=ge2023-01-01T00:00:00-04:00&issued=le2023-05-01T00:00:00-04:00&code=http://snomed.info/sct%7C418618007
1.4 Example of search by patient identifier, start date, local procedure code
GET [base]/DiagnosticReport?patient.identifier=https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/NamingSystem/ca-on-patient-hcn|1234567890&started=gt2024-01-01&basedOn:ServiceRequest.code=http://snomed.info|12345
1.5 Example of search by patient identifier, start date, local procedure code (SNOMED code: 12345) and category (DICOM Mammography)
GET [base]/DiagnosticReport?patient.identifier=https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/NamingSystem/ca-on-patient-hcn|1234567890&started=gt2024-01-01&basedOn:ServiceRequest.code-category=http://snomed.info|12345$http://dicom.nema.org/resources/ontology/DCM|MG
