Summary

The Danish eHealth Infrastructure has published a technical specification for the 'period' search parameter, based on FHIR. This mechanism allows for searching communication records and other resources using specific time frames.

Details

This page details the technical specifications for the 'period' search parameter within the eHealth Infrastructure's FUT Infrastructure (v8.0.0: Release), which is built upon the FHIR standard. The purpose of this parameter is to enable searching and filtering of resources, such as communication records, based on a defined time range. Technically, it involves applying an `ehealth-period` extension to the `Communication` resource. Furthermore, the specification supports complex querying through processing modes like `multipleAnd` (all specified conditions must be true) and `multipleOr` (at least one specified condition must be true). This technical reference is crucial for developers and system implementers, providing a structured method for handling time-series data in healthcare IT systems, thereby facilitating the flexible search and integration of records across different periods.
