Finding one or more Organization

When finding Organization, the origin and use must be taken into account.

Finding all Sub Organization in an Organization Tree

Retrieving an Organization and its entire Organization tree of sub Organization can be performed as an Organization Search that utilizes the :iterate modifier:

GET <base-url>/fhir/Organization?_id=<ID>&_revinclude:iterate=Organization:partof

Example request for finding the entire Organization Tree under Organization/123

GET <base-url>/fhir/Organization?_id=123&_revinclude:iterate=Organization:partof

To retrieve an Organization and only immediate sub Organization of an Organization, use:

GET <base-url>/fhir/Organization?_id=<ID>&_revinclude=Organization:partof

Finding all Parent Organization Transitively

Retrieving an Organization and all its parent Organization transitively, can be performed as an Organization Search that utilizes the :iterate modifier:

GET <base-url>/fhir/Organization?_id=<ID>&_include:iterate=Organization:partof

Example request for finding all parents transitively of Organization/123

GET <base-url>/fhir/Organization?_id=123&_include:iterate=Organization:partof

To retrieve an Organization and only its immediate parent Organization , use:

GET <base-url>/fhir/Organization?_id=<ID>&_include=Organization:partof

Finding all Parent and Sub Organization in an Organization Tree

The above searches can be combined to retrieve all parents transitively and all sub Organization under an Organization:

GET <base-url>/fhir/Organization?_id=<ID>&_revinclude:iterate=Organization:partof&_include:iterate=Organization:partof

Finding all top-level OrganizationEnhed in an Organization Tree

A FHIR Organization based on import from the municipal organization source FK Organisation can have type OrganisationEnhed.

To retrieve all top-level Organization with type OrganizationEnhed, use:

GET <base-url>/Organization?active=true&source=STS-ORG&partof:missing=true

Finding a Municipal Organization

See example operations here.

Get Information about a General Practitioner Organization

Most if not all general practitioners in Denmark have a national Danish provider number. When general practitioners pool their resources in a shared medical practice, multiple practitioners may share the same provider number. A common use case is to display information such as name, address, and telecom for a general practitioner related to a Patient. When multiple practitioners share the same provider number, the information of interest will be that of the shared medical practice.

Enter the convenience operation $get-general-practitioner-info, see get organization information for a healthcare provider with provider number.

The operation will be available with eHealth Infrastructure Release 2025.2.

See example operations here.

The link to the operation and example operation use above awaits finalization of the release.

For now, the example operation use can be accessed here.
