Mandating Support For Combinations of Search Parameters Does Not Make Sense

[slagesse-epic]

Section Number Identify the most specific section number the issue occurs (e.g. 4.1.2)

2:3.90.4.1.2

Issue Describe your issue. Don't write a book, but do include enough to indicate what you see as a problem.

"A Care Services Selective Supplier shall support combinations of search parameters as defined at http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/search.html#combining, “Composite Search Parameters.”"

It is not clear to me what the intent of that requirement is. The linked text describes how a FHIR Resource can define search parameters of type "composite" that combine other parameters, and how clients would invoke those parameters. I don't think the intention here is to say that any arbitrary combination of search parameters can be searched in this way.

Since none of the mCSD Resources define composite search parameters, I don't think this requirement makes sense.

Proposed Change Propose a resolution to your issue (e.g., suggested new wording or description of a way to address the issue). The committee might simply accept your suggested text. Even if they don't, it gives a good sense of what you are looking for. Leaving this blank means you can't imagine how to resolve the issue, which makes it easier for the committee to admit they can't imagine how to resolve it either and leave it unresolved.

Remove this requirement.

Priority:

• Medium: Significant issue or clarification. Requires discussion, but should not lead to long debate.
