How to work with the REST Console

First, you need to create a table of patients.

  1. Open FHIRBase Console
  2. Execute the following query:
SELECT fhir_create_storage('{"resourceType": "Patient"}'::json);

Then you can add a new patient:

  1. Open REST Console
  2. Select the POST method
  3. Enter fhir/Patient after the slash
  4. Paste a JSON example of the Patient resource from the FHIR specification, having removed a line with id assigning, into the request body.

{ "resourceType": "Patient", "text": { "status": "generated", "div": "<div>\n \n <table>\n \n <tbody>\n \n <tr>\n \n <td>Name</td>\n \n <td>Peter James \n <b>Chalmers</b> (&quot;Jim&quot;)\n </td>\n \n </tr>\n \n <tr>\n \n <td>Address</td>\n \n <td>534 Erewhon, Pleasantville, Vic, 3999</td>\n \n </tr>\n \n <tr>\n \n <td>Contacts</td>\n \n <td>Home: unknown. Work: (03) 5555 6473</td>\n \n </tr>\n \n <tr>\n \n <td>Id</td>\n \n <td>MRN: 12345 (Acme Healthcare)</td>\n \n </tr>\n \n </tbody>\n \n </table> \n \n </div>" }, "identifier": [ { "fhir_comments": [ " MRN assigned by ACME healthcare on 6-May 2001 " ], "use": "usual", "type": { "coding": [ { "system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203", "code": "MR" } ] }, "system": "urn:oid:1.2.36.146.595.217.0.1", "value": "12345", "period": { "start": "2001-05-06" }, "assigner": { "display": "Acme Healthcare" } } ], "active": true, "name": [ { "fhir_comments": [ " Peter James Chalmers, but called \"Jim\" " ], "use": "official", "family": [ "Chalmers" ], "given": [ "Peter", "James" ] }, { "use": "usual", "given": [ "Jim" ] } ], "telecom": [ { "fhir_comments": [ " home communication details aren't known " ], "use": "home" }, { "system": "phone", "value": "(03) 5555 6473", "use": "work" } ], "gender": "male", "_gender": { "fhir_comments": [ " use FHIR code system for male / female " ] }, "birthDate": "1974-12-25", "_birthDate": { "extension": [ { "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/patient-birthTime", "valueDateTime": "1974-12-25T14:35:45-05:00" } ] }, "deceasedBoolean": false, "address": [ { "use": "home", "type": "both", "line": [ "534 Erewhon St" ], "city": "PleasantVille", "district": "Rainbow", "state": "Vic", "postalCode": "3999", "period": { "start": "1974-12-25" } } ], "contact": [ { "relationship": [ { "coding": [ { "system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/patient-contact-relationship", "code": "partner" } ] } ], "name": { "family": [ "du", "MarchГ©" ], "_family": [ { "extension": [ { "fhir_comments": [ " the \"du\" part is a family name prefix (VV in iso 21090) " ], "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/iso21090-EN-qualifier", "valueCode": "VV" } ] }, null ], "given": [ "BГ©nГ©dicte" ] }, "telecom": [ { "system": "phone", "value": "+33 (237) 998327" } ], "gender": "female", "period": { "start": "2012", "_start": { "fhir_comments": [ " The contact relationship started in 2012 " ] } } } ], "managingOrganization": { "reference": "Organization/1" } }

  1. Execute the request.

Let's check that the patient has been added:

  1. Open FHIRBase Console
  2. Execute the query select * from patient limit 5;
