We are testing use of PDS API to retrieve RelatedPerson resources from the INT environment. For example: GET https://int.api.service.nhs.uk/personal-demographics/FHIR/R4/Patient/9449305889/RelatedPerson
As expected, this returns a Bundle containing a RelatedPerson resource. However, the referenced patient uses an incorrect identifier system for NHS Number:
"patient": {
"identifier": {
"system": "https://beta.api.digital.nhs.uk",
"value": "9651181834"
},
"reference": "https://beta.api.digital.nhs.uk/Patient/9651181834",
"type": "Patient"
}
The identifier.system
should be https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number
.
This was reported and acknowledged as a fault more than 6 months ago.
Do you have an update on if/when it will be resolved?
