2.1. Search Parameters

The search parameters that are mandated as a minimum in the API for the Practitioner Role resource are detailed below.

Query parameters conformance will be categorised as:

MUST - these search parameters MUST be implemented for the specified resource type.

SHOULD - these search parameters are expected to be implemented, if the data to support the query is present in the host system.

Additional search parameters MAY be added to reflect local requirements.

To be conformant, provider systems are required to implement all of the MUST parameters.

The parameters can be used independently to help refine the search results returned.

2.2. Search Response

If the search fails (cannot be executed, not that there is no matches), the return value is a status code 4xx or 5xx with an OperationOutcome.

If the search succeeds, the return content is a Bundle with type = searchset containing the results of the search as a list of resources in a defined order. The result list can be long, so servers MAY use paging. If they do, they MUST use this Paging method for breaking the list into pages if appropriate. The server MAY also return an OperationOutcome resource with additional information about the search.
