Please have a look at the following code wherein I have a method that searches by family name and another that searches by system. Following the code I have provided the results that were produced by invoking each of these two methods. You can see that the system search returned three patients, the third one having the family name Vaessen. But, when I search for the family name Vaessen a timeout results. Would someone please help me to understand why this is happening?
Note: As you can see from the timeout exception, I am querying the public fhir server http://fhirtest.uhn.ca/baseDstu3
public void findPatientsInFamily(String family) {
System.out.printf("\n\nFinding patients in family %s\n", family);
findPatients(Patient.FAMILY.matches().value(family));
}
public void findPatientsInSystem(String system) {
System.out.printf("\n\nFinding patients in system %s\n", system);
findPatients(Patient.IDENTIFIER.hasSystemWithAnyCode(system));
}
@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public void findPatients(ICriterion criterion) {
try {
Bundle bundle = client.search().forResource(Patient.class).where(criterion).returnBundle(Bundle.class).execute();
for (BundleEntryComponent entry : bundle.getEntry()) {
if (entry.getResource().getResourceType() == ResourceType.Patient) {
Patient patient = (Patient) entry.getResource();
System.out.printf("%s\n", parser.encodeResourceToString(patient));
}
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.printf("Cannot find patients\n%s\n", e.getMessage());
}
}
