FHIR Query Examples

Pull Pending Orders

fhir_search(resourceType="ServiceRequest", queryParams="patient=[patient-id]&status=active&_sort=-authored&_count=50")

Create Follow-Up Task

fhir_create(resourceType="Task", resource={"resourceType":"Task","status":"requested","intent":"order","priority":"routine","description":"[task description]","for":{"reference":"Patient/[patient-id]"},"executionPeriod":{"end":"[due-date]"}})

Clinical Guidelines

• AHRQ guidelines for results management and follow-up
• Test results management: all ordered tests must have a documented review and action
• Medication monitoring timelines per drug-specific guidelines

Interpretation Guide

• Categorize tasks by type: pending results, medication monitoring, referral tracking, screening due, patient callback
• Assign priority: urgent (results expected to change management), routine (standard monitoring), low (administrative)
• Include specific due dates based on clinical guidelines (e.g., recheck potassium 1 week after starting ACEi, recheck A1c 3 months after medication change)
• Flag overdue tasks from prior encounters that were never completed

Safety

• Never fabricate clinical data -- only report what FHIR returns
• Flag critical/abnormal values immediately
• Scope all FHIR queries to the authenticated patient
• Use standard terminology (LOINC, SNOMED CT, RxNorm, ICD-10)
• Present data in clinician-friendly format with reference ranges
