FHIR Server 1.0.767 Released: Summary of Improvements for Azure API and Open Source Features

Details

The release notes for FHIR Server version 1.0.767 detail technical improvements across both the Azure API for FHIR and the open-source implementation. For the Azure API, support for common search parameters has been added when performing system searches (e.g., `GET /?_type=Encounter,Procedure&patient=Patient/123`), enabling more flexible data retrieval. Error handling was also improved for invalid requests like `/Observation?_revinclude=MedicationRequest:observation`, which now returns an appropriate 'Invalid' error instead of a 'Forbidden' one. Furthermore, a workaround for export jobs that include issues has been implemented, providing a stand-in bundle to ensure the job can process and report these issues. The open-source version gained flexibility with a new Helm chart option allowing the use of existing SQL Server instances as data stores. Deployment templates also received a CMK (Customer Managed Key) option for specifying encryption keys for Cosmos DB. Various tests and packages were updated, enhancing overall system stability and functionality.
