e-Referral Service & ODT FHIR R4

e-Referral Service (e-RS)
1

We use the INT environment for both e-RS and ODT FHIR R4.

We are seeing responses to the e-RS Patient Service search which contains ODS codes which the ODT FHIR R4 service is returning a 404 for.

For example we did a patient service search for this patient:

NHS: 9727731325
Postcode: B32 1AB
Specialty: ALLERGY
Clinic Type: ALLERGY_1

Amongst other results this service was returned via the API and the Prof App.

e-RS Service Id: 6709572
ODS Code: RLY20

When we do the ODT FHIR R4 lookup for RLY20 the service returns a 404.

We are very confused as the expectation is that these systems on the INT environment are linked and “prod like”.

Are we doing something wrong?

This might be because RLY20 is a site not an organisation.

So RLY should exist in ODS/ODT as it’s an organisation.

Logically referrals should be for organisations or health services (provided by organisations). I think you need an official answer on this.
