1. A007 Retrieve Clinical Information - The endpoint generates clinical information summaries as a PDF. Does it generate a new PDF each time we call it? How do we know if PDF content has changed since we last synced? I am looking to version the document on SF side and it would be good to avoid duplicate versions if there is no change in the document.
- A042 Retrieve attachment - Is it possible for the Referrer to update the same attachment? Or do they simply add a new attachment with e.g. different name? Should we consider versioning these on our side?
Hi Tim,
Thanks for using the forum. Best thing to do here is explore the OAS documentation https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/e-referral-service-fhir this will help you understand a little more about the endpoints, then have a play in the INT environment.
You’ll see for example A008 the worklist endpoint provides versioning, so that will give you an indication of what has changed, you can then use A005 and other endpoints to shape your next steps. In the OAS document, it provides the different links between the endpoints.
On the attachments - each file reference upon upload is unique.
