Referral attachment URLs - have they changed format?

e-Referral Service (e-RS) e-Referral Service FHIR API

Hi there,

Some attachments in eRS report their URL in the following format -

Binary/att-8207202-107850

Yet others, (from a rough test, more recent ones) are more typical UUIDs such as

Binary/1bd1419c-421b-44bc-94be-3740523c6842

Is this a permanent change? Am I right that it changed on a certain date, or should I expect to support both formats?

Thanks
Sam

Hi @sam.carter -

Yes, the move to a UUID is a permanent change which was released back in June. Please see release information here.

You will have to support both formats up until a time when referrals with the old binary IDs are no longer present.

Thanks,
Z.
