Reading Resources

Read Resource By ID​

To read a resource, you will need its FHIR ID. You can then use the Plasma FHIR Client to read any resource with that ID. Note that responses are strongly typed.

observation = plasma.read_resource("Observation", fhirId)

To read a patient, you can also use the following shortcut method.

patient = plasma.read_patient(patientId);

Reading Resource History​

To read a resource's history, you can either get all history or a single version.

Read Full History​

Reading the full history will return an array of that resource.

allHistory = plasma.read_all_history("Observation", fhirId);

Read Single Version of History​

To read a single version of a resource's history, pass in the version number as a string. In the example below, we are reading version 3 of the Obersvation resource.

singleHistory = plasma.read_history_by_version("Observation", fhirId, "3");
